[opensource-dev] Open Development project: extendingavatarwearables

[Nyx Linden]

It would also require completely de-constructing the current layers 
system, and rebuilding it based on the added parameters (I'd actually 
argue making the parameters part of the links used to create an outfit, 
not the wearables themselves but that's a side note).
