Kml - Polygon boundary, id and description

[MRA]

hello, i want to know if there is any limitation on the amount of
boundarys that can be added to a polygon in a kml for the api and if
is that there are any known issues about the repeted id's in a kml.
all this because I have a kml with a polygon with two innerboundarys
and only one appears besides changing some of the descriptions and id
of them when see it in the api but works perfect googleearth(i have to
add that there are some repeated id's, and of course i do it on
purpose).
my kml is: https://sites.google.com/site/mandino63/mandino.kml

Why? Duplicate id attributes are invalid in any kind of XML, you
can't complain if your invalid file doesn't render the way you expect
it to.

it actually does render fine and the duplicated id's has no problem in google earth, so i just want to know if it also works in the api; and i think it has more problems whith the descriptions than the duplicated id's

[MRA]

you could download it and open on google earth you will see that there
are three polygons that has a description "2" but in my kml viewer
with the api it three have a description "3" and some of the polygons
with the description "3" have description "1" and the polygon with
description and id "calle" has one more innerboundary in google earth

Duplicate id attributes are invalid in any kind of XML, you
can't complain if your invalid file doesn't render the way you expect
it to.

The fact that some renderers are less picky than others doesn't make
it any less invalid.

id attributes beginning with numbers are invalid too, by the way.

All thet depends on if you really mean id, or mean name or description
perhaps. Can't tell because ...

I can't, https://sites.google.com/site/mandino63/mandino.kml gives me
page not found.

I found out that if there are duplicated id's it asigns to each object with the same id all the other tags same as the first object with that id, i was just making a test of that because it is not defined in the api itself.
And i was working with the file locally so i totally fogot and deleted it from the site but it is there right now(i have already figured out how the duplicated id's are handle by the api and it has no one id anymore, again it was just for testing) and i found out that i have just one tag innerboundary for three linearings and it never fail or show up in google earth but in the api it render just the first linearring
Sorry about that and thanks a lot
Ah, is there a way to validate my kml for the api? Or an interactive editor for kml to see this kind of error?

Not for me

More than one
http://www.google.com/search?q=kml+validator
although these only validate the KML. They will not tell you if there
are any KML features included that aren't implemented in Maps (not
every kind of KML tag is)
