Hi Spec-Prod,

We've been having discussion whether every spec needs to have a "level"
indicator. I understand that CSS has moved in that direction, even for
"Level 1" drafts, while some other groups have moved to levels only
after v1.

Two data-points:
Mike West reports that bikeshed gives a fatal error when asked to
produce a WD without level metadata.

The pubrules "this version" checker complains about a -1- after a
shortname.

Is there a common view on whether to use levels or not, and if so, how
to indicate them?

Thanks,
--Wendy
