Created attachment 105216 [details] Start of patch Currently layer.xml manipulation is done using TAX, which is old and barely maintained, and occasionally reformats unrelated XML text (e.g. '<foo />' -> '<foo/>'). Should use XDM instead. Attached patch partly works but the lifecycle handling - parse/modify/save/reload - needs to be improved.
