Tag <NetworkLinkControl> doesn't work with namespace xmlns:xal="urn:oasis:names:tc:ciq:xsdschema:xAL:2.0"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Marshal and launch a KML file that contains a NetworkLinkControl that 
performs an Update on another KML file.  By default, JAK will add the following 
namespace to the KML file: xmlns:xal="urn:oasis:names:tc:ciq:xsdschema:xAL:2.0"

2. The NetworkLinkControl will not update the other KML file unless the 
previously mentioned namespace is removed.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I've reported problem as a bug to Google.  In the mean time, maybe JAK should 
allow the user to specify what namespaces they'd like to add to KML files 
during marshaling.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

2.2.0 on Windows XP 32-bit

Please provide any additional information below.

Please see the attached file for the code snippet.  If the previously mentioned 
namespace is removed, then the other KML file is Updated correctly.

I solved this problem by downloading the project from the repository and 
removing the xal package and all references, both code and annotations, to xal. 
 While this is a brute force solution, it works for me since I'm only producing 
KML for Google Earth, which apparently doesn't support xAL.

I have the same issue.

I've created some examples. Have a look at the working example KMLs:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/392709/KML%20Issue/works/Update-load.kml

compared to:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/392709/KML%20Issue/fails/Point-load.kml
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/392709/KML%20Issue/fails/Update-load.kml

the only difference is the namespace definitions in the kml element

Any resolution on this?

I just tested my example KMLs and it appears to be working now in Google Earth 
6.1.0.5001
