I am not willing to accept that "fact" about levels. DOM and SVG levels
seem to be about features, without reference to particular hardware or
other target hosts. If XQuery continues with its levels, they will not
be aligned with profile-like targets. In addition, there could be levels
of a profile. My point of view shows once again why levels should stand
as a separate Dimension of Variability.
