shakatany | A Different Chosen

I have a little sekrit BtVS-oriented project I'm working on and so I was re-reading my copy of Slayer by Keith Topping. I came across a mention of an alternate yet supposedly authentic script of "Chosen" that had been posted on the Internet. I googled and found it here. Does everyone but me know that there was one? Anyway there are several differences between it and the final version. Among the differences is a greater explanation of the First Evil (ultimately it wants to become flesh). There's also a smidgen of Dawn and Spike interaction and a bit of payoff of the whole ghostly Joyce visit in "Conversations with Dead People" and in the end, it is Xander, not Anya, who dies. One day when I have enough time I'd like to compare it line for line with the aired version. If this is indeed genuine the changes offer an interesting bit of insight into the workings of ME

It also occured to me that according to canon there is a whole hierarchy of beings out there beyond our ken. Canon has given us the Powers That Be, Wolf, Ram & Hart, Jasmine, the First Evil and Glory the Hellgod (and the other two in the triumverite). How do they rank against each other?
