Yes. This is what I was going to do originally; I was including it for "why I 
cannot use a static KML file installed with the plasmoid". Something I am 
wondering about is how to deal with them after. I was thinking to put them in 
a PlaceMarkContainer which had the same order as 
KSystemTimeZones::zones().values() and then use the position of an item to find 
the corresponding item in the other set. Then I can get the placemark from the 
placemarkcontainer, fiddle with it (change visibility, text, etc), and then 
have it update somehow. Is this a bad way? Is there a better way to do this?
