Non-printable Layers

abitgone
Are there any plans for PrinceXML to support content which, while non-printable, is still displayed on screen?

The PDF 1.5 specification allows for layers of content to be created, which may obfuscate parts of a document until it is printed.

Royal Mail uses this in it's printed postage system, by plastering the word "SAMPLE" over the top of the label when viewed on screen, but which does not print when sent to the printer.

Adobe describes this at http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Reader/8.0/help.html?content=WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7bdc.html.

Sounds like it could be useful, so I'll add this to the development roadmap for future investigation. :)
