Hi,
it has become evident by the user reports that using the superoverlay as
the default mode of KML generation is still not a good idea, as it does
not always work as expected.
Wondering what we should do, and where:
- on 1.7.x, if we release a last 1.7.6, maybe we could add a KML link and a KML(superoverlay) one in the preview, and have the KML on point to
mode=refresh?
- on 2.0.x, the same?
What about switching the default mode back to download or refresh when
no mode is specified?
Cheers

+1. The nature of the refresh mode is much better suited as the default than the superoverlay mode imho. Unless properly configured the superoverlay mode can return strange results... which usually just looks like features are missing (states layer). And that is only when it does not fail 
.
But the refresh mode (while not always pretty due to too many features) always will return something reasonable out of the box.
