Description
Great module!
I'm converting kml which contains cdata to geojson and saving that back to kml. In the process, the cdata tags are lost, which makes the xml invalid. I resolved this issue by changing the description function to wrap the description in a cdata tag. I'd try to push it, but I'm not sure if it would goof anything up.
Anywho, thanks!

Research direction
Start by locating the description function in the JavaScript conversion code and reproduce the reported GeoJSON-to-KML case with a description containing CDATA. Check how the description is emitted and verify that the resulting KML preserves the required CDATA tags without breaking other descriptions.
