Re: Libraries for working with STC?

I'd like to follow up Noel's question with one of my own, that also concerns presenting coverage information. I am interested in using Google Sky as a way to present this, since it is easy to use, runs already in every browser, allows overlay and pan and zoom.

Therefore I would like to know if any of the VO footprint, coverage, STC, or registry services can convert to or produce KML output, either as raster or vector graphics.

If so, what is the classification scheme -- how would I fetch a KML version of the SDSS footprint for example?
