If OSM does not use names, but they are used within the wanted
building .. then there will need to be a declared relationship
between the two. <br>
So there needs to be a relation between the names used locally to
the OSM level=number ?<br>

So? A new tag to relate one to the other?<br>
level:name=1:henry ? <br>
the wiki <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:level#String_values" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:level#String_values</a>
has a mention of string values .. but NO real way of adding them in
a usefull way.. <br>
nor is there any indication of how to use these tag on a map... as
in rendering. <br>
For the given example above the indoor map should display the level
name .. not the number .. <br>
And this could be used where the level numbering is not that used by
OSM .. but using the level:name=0:1 could correctly display the
correct local number wile retaining the OSM level system. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Indoor .. a GPS will not be of much use .. so the 'indoor map' will
need to be a good representation of what goes on. <br>
