Assuming so, because the most relaxed level is not "free" (we have the least set of restrictions that nobody would want to disable), I guess we should use: > strict, normal, relaxed If you want a four level structure in which the least strict options represented 'the least set of restrictions that nobody would want to disable', I suggest Strict Normal Relaxed Minimal > If we need more levels in future, I really like David's idea to use numbers. We could develop a numbering system and make values in CSS3 Text as aliases to numbers, just like font-weight:Normal is '400'[1]. I'm not sure that font-weight should be cited as a good example of anything, given its troubled history. :) A numeric system is certainly more flexible in terms of extensibility, and if that is a concern then I would encourage you to put this in place now, rather than starting with names and moving to numbers later. Perhaps that is what you meant. JH
