RE: Sending priority from a server

Yes, that's what I'm looking for: if the client is OK with the server choice it doesn't have to do anything, otherwise, it can express its wishes to the server.

I would add that the client gets the last word only up to a point: the server can ignore all the priority information sent by the client.
