This needed a new subject line.

How about my proposal of the previous email, "layers correspond and represent physical planar layers,
and outline is a special mask layer that acts on physical layers.  Via could also be in the mask layer
category -- mask layers "act on" physical definition layers...

I'd like to call them that way --
mask layers
physical definition layers
