Each <Model> element’s <ResourceMap> element contains a series of <Alias> elements that remap the location of texture files for the model. Each <Alias> element contains a <targetHref>, and a <sourceHref> element.

Two delimited-value geometry traits are used to provide the list of target & source hrefs: kml_resourcemap_sources, and kml_resourcemap_targets. By default, comma-separated href lists are expected. The writer iterates over the source and target href lists in parallel to create the <sourceHref> and <targetHref> element pairs for each <Alias> element.
