Because if someone decides to change the way downloaded layers are
named, e.g. to reflect the name of a bookmark or the largest place= tag
in the downloaded area, that method will break. Downloaded layers
previously were named after the bounding box they covered -- someone
might want to change it back.

The method used in this patch is based on the origin of the data, not
what it happens to be named at the time. It's far more robust.

Jono.
