OK, let's move on then.

Here are some characteristics that we can use to evaluate the various 
proposals with:


1** Number of mouse clicks to change a layer.

2** What is it that shows me the currently selected layer, and how many 
clicks do I have to use to get that status?

3** How many mouse clicks to turn off a layer.

4** What is it that shows me the current on/off status of any layer, and 
how many clicks do I have to use to get that status?

5** How much screen real estate do I give up on a *continuous* basis?

6** How is a layer represented, by name, color or both?

7** What does the implementor like? This tends to sway what gets coded.
