As currently specified they have higher precedence than the normal idl-defined
stuff, if I read the spec correctly.  Of course not a single browser implements
that, and I doubt any ever will.

I would love to see some urls here.  We haven't had anyone report breakage
traceable to this issue in a _very_ long time.
