How about:
The level is an attribute of MLS and Multi-Category Security (MCS). The
first part of the level, s0-s0, is the sensitivity.
Actually, s0-s0 is a MLS range where the low level has sensitivity s0
and no categories and the high level has sensitivity s0 and no
categories.
The s0 sensitivity
is the only sensitivity used for MCS. Since the format of the level is
the same for MLS and MCS, and MLS supports ranges of sensitivities, a
sensitivity such as s0-s0 is the same as s0 when using MCS.
No, s0-s0 is always the same as just s0, regardless of MCS or MLS. Just
like s1-s1 is the same as just s1. Versus a non-trivial range like
s0-s1 or s0-s3.
Optionally,
the level can have a list of categories.
I hope this is correct soon ;)

s0-s0 is a range. It is not a level. A MLS range is a pair of levels
(lowlevel, highlevel) written as "lowlevel-highlevel" if they differ or
as just "lowlevel" if they are the identical. Each level is a
(sensitivity, categoryset) pair written as "sensitivity:categoryset" or
just "sensitivity" if the category set is empty. A categoryset is a
list of categories written as "category1,category2,...". If a category
set contains a contiguous series of categories (e.g.
"c1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,c7,c8,c9,c10") this can be abbreviated as the first
category in the series followed by a dot (".") followed by the last
category in the series, e.g. "c1.c10".
s0-s0 is a range where the lowlevel == highlevel == (sensitivity s0,
emptycategoryset).
If it is not right this time, it's being deleted ;)
level: The level[1] is an attribute of MLS and Multi-Category Security
(MCS). An MLS range is a pair of levels, written as lowlevel-highlevel
if the levels differ, or lowlevel if the levels are identical (s0-s0 is
the same as s0). Each level is a sensitivity-category pair, with
categories being optional. If there are categories, the level is written
as sensitivity:category-set. If there are no categories, it is written
as sensitivity. If the category set is a contiguous series, it can be
abbreviated. For example, c0.c3 is the same as c0,c1,c2,c3. The
/etc/selinux/targeted/setrans.conf file is used to map levels (s0:c0) to
human-readable form (CompanyConfidential).
