@sphcow@mas.to I'd quibble about the IETF levels, at least compared to the W3C. My impression is that IETF Internet Standards are more mature than any formal level that the W3C produces, and that IETF Proposed Standards match W3C Recommendations. You're the expert on the IETF side, of course: have I missed something? It's also easy to get confused between the various kinds of IETF Internet Drafts. Since an individual can publish one unilaterally, some have less maturity than a W3C Community Group document (although an equivalent IPR grant). Those are easy to confuse with the WG-adopted I-Ds, which, as you say, are equivalent to W3C WDs.
