Description

KML format is subtype of application/xml with a "kml" root node and (an optional?) "http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" namespace.

<mime-type type="application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml">
<root-XML localName="kml"/>
<root-XML namespaceURI="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" localName="kml"/>
<acronym>KML</acronym>
<_comment>Keyhole Markup Language</_comment>
<glob pattern="*.kml"/>
<sub-class-of type="application/xml"/>
</mime-type>

KMZ files (https://developers.google.com/kml/documentation/kmzarchives) are zip archives with a KML file inside (the file should be called doc.kml) and one or more folder. A naive approach consists in adding a further check in ZipContainerDetector (find attached).
