This sounds very good. It is important that the layer_title has to be editable for each application. And that is what you did. Lot of people asked for this feature befor.

The WMS title can be something like "OGC-WMS".

Maybe you are right with 3) We use the WMS Title in the application WMS setting and update WMS, delete WMS. Maybe it makes sense to display both title - WMS title and root layer title if they are different.
