Strange, I tried \defineitemgroup[myitm][levels=11] in MKII but still I get "currently no more than 6 levels in itemizations". Levels do not seem to work anymore.

>> I can decrease the default value of 6 with \setcounter. However, increasing to values higher than 6 results in an error: "Missing number, treated as zero".

What you have to know is that this key is only used when you define a new list with \defineitemgroup, for a already existing group like “itemize” you can increase the depth.

OK. What I don't understand is why is there a hardcoded limit? The indentation of depth greater than 6 is working all right only the symbols are kept constant (\definesymbol[6]) for all depth > 6.
