By the way, one additional note:

The term "Precedence order" has been throwing me off several times. To
me it normally means "the order in which the members of an expression
are evaluated" (just like in math or in programming) and in the
specification we use the term with a list that show the reverse order in
which the rules should be evaluated (which is more like a "overriding
order").

I've been afraid that at some point someone is going to implement the
exact reverse order we intended. But maybe that's just me: I'm guessing
that term used like that in other W3C specification(?)

Cheers,
