That sounds ok, except geometry should be in the top level
directory, I'll try and explain why..
You are almost there with the layerID property of an element - The
layerID is a reference to a layer definition that is stored in
another file like so:
layerID: 5
ie. the layer definition resides in a file called "5.yml".
The layerID should be a path reference in the first place:
layerID: 5.yml
..this allows you to have all or some of your layer definitions
tucked away in some place that isn't automatically loaded:
layerID: layers/5.yml
You could also have layer definitions that exist outside the
drawing:
layerID: /export/standard-layers/5.yml
Ultimately, layer/style/linetype definitions can be
accessed with proper URLs:
layerID: http://www.example.com/standards/layers/5.yml
So, layers/styles/linetypes can be stored in sub-directories because
they are only needed when referenced, whereas the geometry should
exist in the root of the drawing because the geometry IS the
drawing.
