(Just to contribute to the confusion:)

That's according to the spec, but there are quite a few people out
there who do not honour the spec (for whatever reasons - not relevant
here) and have their own definition of sig levels (usually published
in their signing policy).

To sum it up, these days levels 0,2,3 are fine. 1s are a bit strange
and quite rare - I'd inquire about that kinda sig level.
