As I recalled, Ian once suggested "A, double-A, triple-A", which is what 
WAI uses. At [1] I found this:

"Here's why we chose "Level Double-A" instead of "Level 2": It wasn't
clear to people that "2" meant "Priority 1 AND 2 requirements are
met." It could be interpreted as "no priority 1 requirements are met,
only those P2 and below (P3).".
I would recommend sticking with A/AA/AAA just because that system
is already familiar to people within W3C.
Is there an important reason for changing nomenclature?"

-Lofton.

p.s.  If we were to decide that there was reason to change, how about: Q, 
double-Q, triple-Q?  WAI uses "double-A" instead of "AA", for the reason 
that its more accessible, I'm told.
