It sounds like we're not going to agree. But if we're going to standardize on ugly jargon, let's go all the way and make it "securelevel" so it's obvious that it's ugly jargon imposed on the documentation by the MIB, and not just ugly English, more so in some places than others. (Note that the two pages I was working on were both going to use multiple versions and I simply choose the one I liked to standardize within the page.) In 5.4, 10 manpages use 'security level' in 34 lines. 1 manpage uses 'secure level' in 6 lines. 15 (about) manpages use 'securelevel' as a word maybe 20-25 times but some might be using short-hand for the MIB. Other manpages use the MIB, kern.securelevel.
