RE: [Mid] more on dependants...

Too me, all the belts say is "the wearer of this belt has entered into a
peer-dependent relationship with a peer (the kind depends on the color).

For many squires/apprentices/proteges, it indicates a desire to become the type
of peer, at some point. For some, however, it does not.

The Warders of the Company of the Bronze Ring take Cadets or Wards, with either
a grey scarf, a red scarf, or no scarf at all. My boys wear red simply because
when they go to an interkingdom war, the scarves are recognized as "Cadet --
someone is responsible for this person in the way that a Don is responsible for
a cadet."

I don't think it necessarily denotes a level of skill higher or lower than
someone without a belt. It simply signifies that someone has entered into, more
or less, a formal relationship with a peer.

in service and in song,
