I don't generally think of layers and such as session information; I tend to think of them are parts of a richer image format, sort of like how recent PDF versions allow for a table of contents that appears outside of the displayed pages when shown on a computer. There's no reason this stuff couldn't be part of a standard image format. (For that matter, SVG supports that kind of stuff, so Gimp could use an SVG file containing bitmaps and no other drawing operations, which would be a bit silly, but would be portable).
