Google Earth Community: observation data, support scripts and OGC SOS

In an extension to the thread posted here I've extended this kml product (the NetworkLink version is giving me refresh problems)

with the following features:

Features

+ placemarks contain links to operator(gomoos, etc), platform and data provided by sos_config.xml file
+ data layer for viewing by operator/platform all observations at each platform
+ data layer for viewing by observation property(sea_water_temperature, etc) using a ranged color coding of the data
++ color viewing of observation data helps visually identify suspicious/bad data
++ observation measurement range limits can be user-defined by supplying a http url to a style.xml file (see development documentation link below) which allows users flexibility in how data is visually filtered
++ new observation properties can be added to units.xml and style.xml to support their display
+ layers/placemarks have been timeline enabled (requires google earth version 4 or later) with description of archival products listed at http://carocoops.org/gearth/archive_kmz/readme.txt
+ can be called as a service or scripts can be used and modified elsewhere

The development notes at new users describes how others might use these files and scripts to display
their own observation data similarly, potentially towards a OGC SOS type web service.
