Hi! Daniel! Yes, this is indeed what I'm trying to achieve. I can't answer for others, but for what I've read it looks like the described behavior is what most people wants. I guess someone would like the ability to totally hide some layers from the capabilities document, but in my opinion that's more of a cosmetic need not to disclose to the user how the layers are organized internally in mapserver. After all a layer without a name is not queryable, and that is the main objective.
