It is possible to specify Heurist-formatted data in HXTBL format between KML's <Metadata> tags, e.g.


      ...

       <Placemark>

       ...

        <Metadata>


         <detail name="Name of organisation" id="160">

          Archaeological Computing Laboratory

         </detail>


         <detail name="Organisation type" id="203">

          Laboratory

         </detail>


        </Metadata>

       ...

       </Placemark>

      ...


Heurist will add fields of type #160 (Title) and type #203 (Organisation type) to the record corresponding to this <Placemark>.
