	For decoration = D0 & result = nonempty.

	All good examples.
	And for the remaining 5 cases?
	Would decrementing '10' to, say, '1' or '0.5' mostly do
	the job?

	Ah, I misunderstood then.

	Well, as I recall only a partial ordering was necessary to
	prove FTDIA.  It was:

		empty < inDomain&Continuous < inDomain < in&Out
		empty <              outDomain         < in&Out

	Where, as you pointed out, 'ill' need only be placed at
	some level below level 1.

	So anything that fits this description would do the job.

	And, as I mentioned before, if you're going to change them
	anyway I would prefer if the 'less-than' went in the same
	direction as the 'subset'.  I think its easier conceptually.
	At least it is for me.  Probably easier to teach as well.
