I think we do not need another bug. The problems are already covered by bug
90244, bug 90320, bug 89130, and bug 56498 and their duplicates.
And look at bug 99648 "[META] Improve Layer Handling", whether your ideas not
already reported.

Which applications do you have in mind? Remember, that layers in Draw do not
determine the stacking order.

Renaming the label "Layout" to something different is a task of the translation
teams. Only the English string is in source (sd/inc/strings.hrc).
But keep in mind, that you need very good reasons to rename something that has
its name already for twenty years.

I have already looked, whether it is possible to get rid of these two layers. 
But there are so many internal consequences to the code that I've refrained
from trying.

You can use click+Shift (hide/show), click+Ctrl (lock/unlock) and
click+Shift+Ctrl (printable/not printable).
