Personally, I think this is a very bad idea, excluding the maintenance and update issues already identified by yourself. The main reason why I think this is a bad idea is the context for why you would want this information ... Is it someone's level that dictates how you post? Do you think posts from someone with a higher XP intrinsically impart greater worth on the post? Or inversely, that from a lower level monk has a lesser worth? (Indeed, we have seen an example of late where the community worth of a post correlated most inversely with the poster's XP)

Personally, I think this information is already readily available simply by clicking on the poster's name - There is little practical worth, short of encouraging "level envy" or personality voting, in this notion.

Just my random thoughts on the matter.
