Yes, I object.

level=* is an "internal" value.  Its meaning is absolute, which is
necessary because it is used worldwide.

When the value is displayed, the displaying software should localise the
result according to either the viewer's language, or viewer's location.
Perhaps you are not aware that in some places what British people call
"ground floor" is called "first floor".  However, it is still the same
floor, so it's appropriate to tag it the same (level=0).

The numbers are not meaningless.  They are clearly defined in the wiki.

Best wishes,

Andrew
