If you want to create SimpleFieldExtension elements and validate it then you will need to create an XML Schema (.xsd) and refer that file in your KML documents.
Example XML Schema with KML extension:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:kml="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"
xmlns:ext="http://myextension"
targetNamespace="http://myextension"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
version="2.2.0">
<import namespace="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"
schemaLocation="http://schemas.opengis.net/kml/2.2.0/ogckml22.xsd" />
<element name="SimpleMetadata" type="ext:SimpleMetadataType"
substitutionGroup="kml:SimpleFieldExtension"/>
<complexType name="SimpleMetadataType" final="#all">
<sequence>
<element name="description" type="string"/>
<element name="observedProperty">
<complexType>
<simpleContent>
<extension base="string">
<attribute name="type" type="string" use="required"/>
</extension>
</simpleContent>
</complexType>
</element>
<any namespace="##other" processContents="lax" minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
</schema>
Here's KML document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:ext="http://myextension"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://myextension ext.xsd
http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2 http://schemas.opengis.net/kml/2.2.0/ogckml22.xsd">
<Document>
<Schema id="SensorTypesId" name="SensorTypes">
<SimpleField name="model" type="string"/>
<SimpleField name="reason" type="string"/>
<SimpleField name="speed" type="double">
<ext:SimpleMetadata>
<ext:description>this is the true air speed of a given
aircraft in meters per second</ext:description>
<ext:observedProperty type="urn:ogc:def:phenomenon:OGC:speed" />
</ext:SimpleMetadata>
</SimpleField>
</Schema>
...
A proposed example of a SimpleFieldExtension and discussion can be found here.
Note that http://www.kmlvalidator.com/ checks the strict KML specification and doesn't check KML extensions such as Google's KML extensions so you won't be able to validate custom extensions either.
You can validate such a KML document using the XML Validator which is a standalone command-line validator.
You'll need to add the namespace definition in the XML Validator ns.map config file:
http://myextension=${XV_HOME}/schemas/ext.xsd
or absolute path like this:
http://myextension=C:/myPath/ext.xsd
Even though the SimpleFieldExtension is supported by the KML standard, adding a custom SimpleFieldExtension through a custom XML Schema requires more testing to verify it doesn't cause problems to applications using it especially if you plan to share your KML outside your organization. Applications like Google Earth will simply ignore your extensions so only use extensions when you absolutely must.
