very frequent yet, there is IMHO still a chance to make this right. What
order of year and level would you prefer?
I would prefer isced:2011:level for the two following reasons:
- It is the level as given by ISCED 2011, i.e. "isced" and "2011" belong
together.
- There is also the date namespace, that interprets "isced:level:2011"
as "the isced:level as it was in 2011", e.g. for a school that has been
converted since.

I would go with the same scheme we already use on other tags. I.e.
0;1;2;3 and 0-4 would both be allowed values. I don't see a reason for a
"1/2" value.
