How Illustrator manage selections on a deep level in his layer/object dialog?
Could you please be a little more specific?
For reference, here's UI:

When you select multiple objects, on canvas, multiple obects will be selected in the layers dialog -- only if you expanded the list of objects.
Illustrator also has color codes for layers, so when you select multiple objects from different layers, bounding box of each object on canvas gets a colored square in a cornner. Scribus has this feature too, and so does InDesign.
To me the feature most important in the layer dialog is the ease to use it so if merged we need a very good UI/UX design, As idea, a tabbed widget with layers, objets and maybe XML? Also another tab as SVG source code?
Please forget you ever asked that question :)
XML editor's dialog is *huge*. You *absolutely* don't want the layers dialog with the XML editor in another tab *and* docked to the sidebar :)
