Quoting from the proposal:
"The functionality *will be available for layer group with mode SINGLEor
OPAQUE only*, since TREE groups can show only one sub-tree in capabilities."

Agree, that's indeed how the mocks show it to the user, they are called
"layer group styles"

The reorg of the existing style editor (which has the three "add" links
stacked vertically) makes indeed sense.
Having the controls to add a new layer at the end also makes sense. We want
to keep the ability to copy another style, since
we expect users to want to start from a base, and customize from there,
rather than re-enter layers one by one.
