They seem to have split Common Lisp into CLOS (level 15)
and a CLOS-deprived rest (and probably did not look at
#Z(series) at all).

Scheme > Lisp might be due to the slightly diffrerent dominant
style in the two communities (schemers seem to prefer a more
functional style).

OTOH, I'd guess that they did not look very hard at lispisch
languages -- the dynamically scoped mulisp got the same
level like the real (lexically scoped) lisps.

The high value for HTML is funny, particularly if one looks
at such nasty lines like

<font size="2"> (for the main text bodies above the level table),
...
<table border="0" width="565">
...
<td valign="top" width="565">

(the only purpose of which is to make the result look ugly
and the rendering slower) in their code.
