In general, I'm hip with keeping NPCs at or below level 8 in almost all cases. In fact, I've done the same thing with my homebrew world.
I wonder if we need to then address the dominion of the character races. How could humans, say, be the dominate power in the world if almost none of them are over 8th level? A single beholder or ancient dragon could wipe out an army. The existance of extremely powerful non-humanoid intelligent creatures should be somehow balanced. Perhaps we should mention that there are almost none of these out there. Or perhaps are held in check by good aligned 'monsters.'
I'm getting a bit tangental, though, perhaps. In general, I like this suggestion.
