I agree with the need for a RFC, but as I found out in reading some of 
the comments (which reminded me of all the past headaches related to 
this), there are several angles to consider, so before we even think of 
a RFC we need an organized discussion on this.

I have prepared a Wiki page to collect use cases, and eventually start 
proposing and discussing solutions:

http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki/HidingLayersInOGCWebServices

You are invited to add well documented use cases to the page. I have 
started with a few of the most common ones that I remembered.

The rest of the discussion on this topic should happen on the 
mapserver-dev list. I'll go start another thread there now.
