KML file without coordinates

[Jason Lichtenthal]

Is it possible to create a KML file without coordinates in it?  I have a list of addresses and I don't have the long/lat.  I'd like to create a KML file and have Google Earth geocode and determine the long/lat for each placemark.  Is that possible?

Its possible, a <Feature> can have a <address> tag rather than a <Point>

but such a KML wont be openable in so many programs. But Google Earth does support the <address> tag.
