Redlining: styles in exported KML are not taken into account

[asaunier]

The styles contained in the KML files exported by the redlining tool are not taken into account when loaded in Google Earth/Maps or with the AddKmlFile plugin.

Actually the problem comes from OpenLayers.Format.KML that does not support styles when exporting features to KML (styles are only supported when importing KML).

The "styles" available in the elements of the exported KML files are only attributes of the exported features but cannot be used as actual styles. In short: there are useless here.

I have found an old ticket in OpenLayers about styles exporting in KML:
http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/ticket/2409
but it is still open :)
