In 1.5.1 and 1.5.2, a system layout file is used whenever possible so
your local layout file is completely ignored. In 1.5.3, a local layout
file is used before the system one. This makes it easy for a user to
modify and use a local layout file, or distribute a document with an
updated layout file. The source of the bug, as I have explained, is
that the same layout file is loaded repeatedly by child documents.

The bundle feature is under active development, and it would be
another half a year (?) for 1.6.0 to be released with this feature.

The development on the XML side, as far as I can tell, is stalled, and
there is little hope to deliver it for 1.6.0. This feature is supposed
to be transparent to users though.
