[OpenLayers-Dev] Advanced GIS functionnalities

[Cameron Shorter]

We have discussed sub-layers on the WMC/OWS-Context and Mapbuilder lists.

I think the current idea is to set up a "group" flag for a layer so that 
multiple layers can be grouped in a legend in a hierarchical manner.

Could you please expand on your idea of the "Customizable Layer".
