Only Display Names on MouseOver
Jon H
generates very simple KML such as the following. I would like the
placemark name field to only display when the icon has the mouseover
event. It appears that the default must be to always display. Is
there a simple tag that can be added to make this happen. Any
thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it's easy to do - you just have to use StyleMap instead of Style
within the Placemark - see
http://code.google.com/apis/kml/documentation/kmlreference.html#stylemap
... then when defining the 2 Styles within the StyleMap set the label
scale of the Normal Style to 0.
