Should this guideline be reversed?  Paintings are by their nature a reusable tile, and the 3-layer restriction should be lifted soon.  Everything in the woodland_indoor_x3 set ignores this rule, as do many objects in woodland_indoor (to take the first example that reminded me to challenge this).  -- [[User:Octalot|Octalot]] 17:28, 20 October 2008 (CEST)

Background to paintings etc
