But then, the original question came from someone within the US.

One way of looking at it might be that those screwy Brits decided to futz
things up again :-), and change the definition of "top level".. to them,
perhaps the top level logically comes first, while to us yanks top leve
should be at the end. Or, maybe these are just the crazed midnight ramblings
of someone who really doesn't know what he's talking about.

Yes, that seems likely.
