I would like to use a canvas to represent layers/groups of features...which i control wholistically as well as interrogate individually. Think of a map for example....it has layers...where each layer has shapes. I could write a logical model to store this information...but i can imagine that this is something people will need in the future. The ability to select features by criteria would be very helpful too....such as select features that intersect or union feature X....or select all polygons within coordinates X or with a name like Y.
