The Earth is Square blog discuss a pdf regarding the U.S. National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s standards. From the blog: "One thing you will notice that is absent from this document: Google Earth's KML. They want to use open standards and WMS, WFS and GML are in." From the pdf: "The Center was specifically designed to develop and coordinate data standards with other Department of Defense (DoD) agencies, other intelligence agencies, civil agencies, private industry, and foreign partners. Since its inception, the NCGIS has charted the course for the Nation’s geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) standards, and today, in 2006, the benefits of that work are being realized."
