Oddly, that was the pedantic explanation I sought.

I am again baffled here. If "any national group" is group 1, then my U.S. keyboard layout, a German keyboard layout on a U.S. keyboard, a German layout on a German keyboard , and Michael's Irish Unicode setup, are all group 1? Certainly I misunderstand this. More pedantry, /si vous plais/.

These definitions, as well as the definitions of "level" and "group", don't seem to make particular distinction between the two. Does any hard distinction exist?
