6. Cheat is allowed as a signature

	Sometimes, it appears it could be very useful for a corridor to be a bit longer than it is for real, because the map will be more clear : because it will prevent to separate two levels or prevent some ugly overriding. Then it is allowed to cheat a bit and draw the corridor 1 or 2 tiles longer. This should be an exceptionnal choice. As a side effect, this act as a signature because if someone steal your map and tries to publish it with different colors etc... then he will not be able to explain this bizarre part :)		Sometimes, it appears it could be very useful for a corridor to be a bit longer than it is for real, because the map will be more clear : because it will prevent to separate two levels or prevent some ugly overriding.

2. Level cuts at stairs only

	Maps are easier to read if the levels are cut at stairs rather than anywhere else randomly. There is no reason at not cutting at stairs because two levels cant overide. If it overides, then you probably draw something wrong :)		Maps are easier to read if the levels are cut at stairs rather than anywhere else randomly.
