Hi, Dan.  The term `-stratal' is a specific reference to Ladusaw's
distinction between multistratal and multilevel theories:

William Ladusaw.  1988.  A Proposed Distinction between Levels and
Strata. Suk-Deuk Kim, ed. Linguistics in the Morning Calm 2. Seoul:
Hanshin. 37-51.  

Essentially, strata are stages of a derivation and levels are
nonderivationally related structures.  So your note below is
technically incorrect, and I think does not address Dick's point.
