I don't think we really need layers, but could use editors that are semantically aware of things like boundaries, and put them in the background until needed. --- Some boundaries effectively follow an other mapped feature,even if the true boundary varies. A nature reserve on one side of a road, or one side of a winding river, may fall into this category. The conventional boundary is shared. The actual legal boundary must be established by survey and is less relevant to OSM. If we can make sharing boundaries less awkward to edit, I think we'd unlock a lot of power in modelling the world as it really is used.
