Then it's a matter of writing a script to geocode each of them to get latitude and longitude, and then I'll have to further massage all that data into a KML file. Should be good!

Looks like that needs search string of "%%%%", and would require a slight tweaking to my script.
However, I don't think I'll be able to geocode the results of that search to get latitude and longitude..Never mind.
