    Another option is to use the just announced KML Validator (http://www.kmlvalidator.com/home.htm). It is a free online service that checks your KML files against the new OGC KML 2.2 standard. Files can be uploaded or referenced from a URL. After checking the file it generates a report that outlines any issues and provides advice on how to resolve them.
