Sorry -- "without"? That is what system layout does now, which you have
objected in the first place. Can you maybe explain what properties, exactly,
you want to see present? And you get your unblocked -- see Jamroot, the
'tag' rule. Compare versioned and system layouts and adjust the system layout
to request necessary thing to appear in name -- it should be straightforward.
