I agree with Assefa's suggestion that we should let the user decide if 
he wants to expose all layers, or just the unioned one, and this can be 
done using the new metadata introduced by RFC-67 to control which layers 
are enabled/disabled for a given protocol.

So I'd say by default expose all layers in OGC services (unioned + 
individual layers), and let the user control which layers to hide (if 
any) using RFC-67 metadata. The grouping in the GetCapabilities can also 
be controlled with the wms_layer_group metadata... so there should be 
nothing special to be done for any of this in RFC-68 unless I'm mistaken.
