 From a technical point tags may be correct.  but to a user what does it 
mean?  Tags doesn't actually have any implicit meaning in its own right, 
its a complete non-word.  Its like me saying "data"  lets just call them 
data and be done with trying to add real meaning to names.

Just leave layers as they are, they are the closest naming that can take 
advantage of transferable knowledge.  We already use Groups, and 
Parent-Child relationships in ways that would confuse the average 2D 
artist.  A group in Blender is not like a group in photoshop which would 
be more comparible to a parent-child relationship.

I don't see why a layer needs to have exclusive content to still be 
called a layer.
