(Disclaimer:  based on NSLevelIndicator docs, rather than Cocoa experience.)

Yes, I would.  I wouldn't normally display either of those things at
all, but if the user wanted it displayed, a NSLevelIndicator is
sufficiently reasonable that I wouldn't think to question it.

Those are reasonable things to show in a user profile; my only concern
there is that the rest of the profile is largely text; a graphical
display (let alone a native one) might stand out so much that it would
overwhelm the rest of the page.
