At least save/load multiple PNGs is not really special-need, IMO.

The main point of this feature is interoperability, and building some user
trust into the OpenRaster file format.  With this feature we provide a way
to import a layered OpenRaster image into any application.  Users can be
certain that they will be able to edit the individual layers of their
OpenRaster files outside of MyPaint later, without too much effort.

The method there doesn't work well for post-processing in different apps
because the layers have different sizes, and is way too hard to discover.

Copy/pasting layers also works, but I think nobody has ever done it that way
except after I suggested it.
