You could try converting the file with gpsbabel
gpsbabel -i kml -f test.kml -o osm -F test.osm
And then see if you are happy with the translation, or if you still need to add more features. At least you will have a starting point on what tags you need. Thanks for the replies. I probably should have said the main purpose of this exercise is to teach myself XSL which is used to transform one XML (KML) to another (OSM).
My KML file has a parent/child folder structure eg there's are folders called 'Tall Buildings' & 'Short Buildings' that contain list of tall & short buildings respectively. Unfortunately GPSBabel appears to remove this folder structure & just lists all the buildings together; so I have no way to identify them as either tall or short to give them different icons in the IMG file. Incidently GPSBabel doesn't produce the <bounds> tag yet still converts to an IMG successfully. For a point GPSBabel produces just these tag/attributes: <node id='-4331' visible='true' lat='51.155506' lon='-2.575480'> So I'll just use those Cheers Dave F.
