Host activity streams as KML document #5

No way to test KML rendering other than by referencing deployment host?

Hard-coding the public deployment URL in javascript because I need to pass a publicly-accessible URL to the Google Maps API. This means the deployment server has to be up to do any development.

No way around this?

What gain does this even give us, other than taking the load off the browser and reducing Google Maps API calls?

It does make the front end more composable. A KML document with the heat map is more reusable with other front ends than the current approach.
