Comment (by hydra3333):

 Yes.  OK.

 As you mention, it would be good to fix, as the omissions remove capacity
 to specify a valid level lower than the prevailing "upper limit" level.

 I wonder if the code checks a specified/calculated level against what the
 installed hardware/driver allow as an upper limit ?
