Is there a standard convention for naming z-index layers? [closed]

Question

I want to create some sass variables to represent different z-index values, and would like to use a pre-existing naming convention if one exists. I'm looking for something like how Swing defines root, layered, content, and glass panes, or a pointer to some theory that I can use as a naming basis.

Answer 1

After thinking about this a bit at work, here's what we came up with (wrapped in a Sass map):

$z-index: (
  'satellite'           :       5000,
  'skyscraper'          :       1000,
  'tower-block'         :       500,
  'house'               :       200,
  'bungalow-chimney'    :       110,
  'bungalow'            :       100,
  'shed'                :       50,
  'postbox'             :       10,
  'curb'                :       1,
  'pavement'            :       0,
  'pothole'             :      -10,
  'ditch'               :      -20,
  'sewer'               :      -100,
  'mine'                :      -300,
  'seabed'              :      -1000
);

Which is then referenced like so:

.foo {
  z-index: map-get($z-index, 'pothole');
}
