Kalle,

I'm familiar with the JPL levels of edit, but in my
experience working with editors in three different
companies, the JPL system (nor any process similiar to
it) was not used.

That's not to say that a formal editing process is
unnecessary. The biggest challenge in editing or
working with an editor is the risk of falling into a
loop of never-ending edits, where the writer and
editor make incessant changes, without any sense of,
"Okay, this is the last round."
