hi

 From my perspective, an overlay is essentially the 'C' in 
PRC...overlays sit nicely in a world where the journal has been 
deconstructed into its consistent parts. P= publish as we see with 
preprint servers R = review as we see with many review communities C = 
curate  the assemblage of materials

I think the 'sense' of 'C' (overlays) is starting to 'make more sense' 
(if you will) for folks as the P & R practices are becoming more popular.
