One problem with it being a notification area icon is that it's less usable on dual monitor setups.
You could have a separate layout indicator applet on every monitor, but have 2 notification areas just don't work.
[This is a long know bug #128735, which is hard to solve due to the design of notification area.]

The new Indicator Applet does works well when instantiated twice, so I can see and adjust volume & power on both monitors. It'd be sweet if the keyboard layout management could be migrated to the new indicator framework as well...
