The proposal makes sense and seems rather complete.
The backwards compatibility strategy is also good, though I don't see
escaping for
the separators: are they invalid characters in the keyword, language or
vocabulary
expressions?
Besides this issue, +1

Thinking out loud, expression a keyword becomes more work, might be
interesting
to have a way to copy them from another layer.
I think others have expressed a desire to have existing layers act as
"templates"
for new layers. Anyways, just a random thought, not actually related to the
proposal

Cheers
Andrea
