Whoa! Ok. :)

Good idea.

Hmmm ... how about:

Level 1 - Information Access
Level 2 - Graphical Styling
Level 3 - Basic UI Features
Level 4 - Advanced UI Features

Trying to do a couple things here:

1) make all level headings grammatically parallel
2) describe what the end user is getting at each level
3) suggest my own alternative to 'DHTML' ;)

Fair enough. See above.
