Interesting thought.

Actually, that's what it looks like in the on-disk file format. Nothing prevents you from editing the individual layers in these folders, that's what I do for testing.

That's also planned. It's possible I'll have to change the current layout a bit though.

Interesting idea. The question is, do we need that? At the moment I can just edit all the files as they are: the layer files, the layer config, in the future also the brushes and the brush settings. You just can't change that on the fly.
