Many people intuitively understand that the presence of 0 means the system is zero-based. Even though the basement is sometimes called "floor 0", they wouldn't interpret level=0 as the basement if -1 is also present.
maybe iD could display “speaking presets” for the level tag in the dropdown, like “ground_floor”, “first floor”, “first underground floor” etc., rather than using the raw values.
Only in the “all tags” section the numbers would be shown.
