This creates a problem.

Imagine two tasks, task A and task B. Task A is sufficient to go from
level 1 to level 2. Task B is sufficient to go from level 2 to level
3. Now imagine that I perform both tasks.

If I perform task A first, I become level 2, and then task B takes me
to level 3.

If I perform task B first, I become level 2 and task A accomplishes nothing.

I don't believe most players in the mass market will accept this idea.
The experience point works because task B "overflows" into credit for
level 3, and task A covers the balance.
