if you have a bit of spare time, you may want to have look at the
discussions about why layers are a bad solution for what you're
doing :-)

... but, sadly enough, layer are the only available workaround that is
available to the broad public!

so, since the alternatives are lacking, it's imo ok to use layers for
it, but it would be wonderful if somebody would specify a better way of
working!

how can we branch the work in a dtp workflow?
a hard question...
