Re: [mathonweb] reminder: meetings this week

I disagree about there not being an accepted precedence for *and* vs *or*.
The precedence in programming languages that I know all have *and *with a
higher precedence than *or*. In MathML, the default operator table does so
also. The other notation used for logical and/or is  ·/+ (as in a ·b + c or
ab+c) and these again use the convention that the "times" operator has a
higher precedence than "plus" for and/or.

It may be that some books/articles do it the other way around, but I'd like
to see some examples proving me wrong. Or if they are considered equal
precedence, again, I'd like to see some examples where this is true (as
opposed to just using parens to make it clearer).
