If we are mentioned layers, in my opinion, there are needed some improvements:
 - It will be nice to allow setup user own colors for current layers, both in 
displaying and plotting, per project and defaults.
 - In svg drawing very helpful will be Inkscape layers support - those are just 
special tree-top groups (<g> tags) with attributes(example):
  <g id="layer32" inkscape:groupmode="layer" inkscape:label="B.Cu" […]>
    <g 
style="fill:#008400;fill-opacity:1;stroke:#008400;stroke-width:19.68499947;stroke-linecap:round;stroke-linejoin:round;stroke-opacity:1">
       <polyline (…)/>
    </g>
  </g>
 - Drills should be plotted as separate layer.
