and another question - what is the major value for - is it ability to restore the set of layers TOGETHER with the VIEW or JUST be able to restore some saved state of layers?

As far as I can see, from the first glance DXF does not support storing the information about layers together with view.

Even AutoCAD uses a bit different concept -  the Layer State (LAS file)  - and it is also stored externally to DXF.

Potentially, we could support something similar.

DXF is flexible enough, so probably it will be possible to find some place to store attributes of VIEW/LAYERS relations like application-specific data. Yet in such case, it hardly could be compatible with other programs that handles DXF (so this will be LC-specific only).
