Tomas, that one day we decide to drop support for domain level 0. We will have
to hunt down all references to it and using constant for help messages etc.
might be handy because it will show up in results of grep, so we do not forget
to wipe domain level 0 from texts.


Nitpick just to make you feel that I read the patch (does not warrant a NACK):
I would rather see conditions in form of (<= or >=) instead of (< or >)
because now you have to grep for domain level +- 1 to get all references to
particular domain level :-D

Nevermind, this is just a nitpick.
