Defining layer style for KML layer within OGR Virtual Format?

I have the following OGR virtual format data source, which includes a few GeoJSON files and one KML file:

  

    wkbGeometryCollection
    EPSG:4326

    

      AMDT_02_2014_Finland_FIR.kml
      SELECT *,'PEN(c:#FF00FF,w:10px)' AS OGR_STYLE FROM AMDT_02_2014_Finland_FIR
    

    
      tsa2014.js
      SELECT *,'PEN(c:#00FFFF,w:10px)' AS OGR_STYLE FROM OGRGeoJSON
    

    

      ctr2014.js
      SELECT *,'PEN(c:#FFFF00,w:5px)' AS OGR_STYLE FROM OGRGeoJSON
    

  

Setting the layer style for the GeoJSON layers works fine when doing a ogr2ogr conversion to another format such as PDF. However, trying to set the KML layer style with SELECT *,'PEN(c:#FF00FF,w:10px)' AS OGR_STYLE FROM AMDT_02_2014_Finland_FIR seems to have no effect. Default black pen is used to draw the polygon outline:

Is there a way to change the style of a KML layer within OGR VRT file? At least the syntax above does not seem to work.

The KML file used in this question can be downloaded from Dropbox.

Answer

I fear you are out of luck with your current approach because this sentence from the GDAL wiki http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/KML makes me understand that the GDAL KML driver does not support OGR Styles:

Styling

Until the driver supports the OGR simple feature style...

The same wiki page gives advice for styling KML with XLS stylesheet. Consider to make a feature request about adding OGR_STYLE support for the KML driver into GDAL issue tracker http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/. Check the old tickets first, though.
