Yeah, it does not seem to make much sense. Each process can take
input data from local sources, remote sources, resources inlined
in the request. There is no pre-cooked association between the
layers and the processes built into WPS.
One can imagine registering the result of a WPS process as a new
layer, that is, as a dynamically computed thing, but I'm not
seeing that happen soon (as Sextante processes are push in nature,
and to have the best results out of the above approach, the
nature of the processes should be pull instead).

Cheers
