I assume that these methods preserve the relative priority of previous optional constraints, while making the new constraint highest priority if it is prepended and lowest if it is appended.  Is this correct?  If so, it should probably be clarified in this section.

I had copied this almost verbatim from Travis' document.  I meant to adjust to match the demo list of constraints in section 10.1.  I will adjust in the next draft.

As I mentioned in the large note preceding that section, this is not intended to be the "approved" list.  You may also have noticed that "aspectRatio" was not included, although it was more popular in the straw poll at the interim than zoom and fillLightMode.  Again, this is just a sample set so we can talk intelligently with concrete examples.
