The parts are optional, e.g.,

        [level.level]   is a valid directory name
        [000000]        is like the "/" path on Unix
        [level.]        is valid too
<<<<<<<<
And the use of angle-brackets is also valid:
        node::device:<level.level>filename.suffix;1 ....

yes - and the semicolon can be a different character also (iirc, a ".").

--just to complicate things, ... from TOPS-10 & -20, I suspect ... and
double-quotes and wild-cards also have a place. (When I used VMS I always
preferred the angle-brackets.)

double-quotes can appear in a node-name (something like that - I've seen
it documented but don't recall the exact terminology up at the node level).

wildcards at least are comparable to other systems: "*"
