In article <908@bsu-cs.UUCP>, dhesi@bsu-cs.UUCP (Rahul Dhesi) states that the
  use of the term "precedence" when discussing address parsing is inconsistent
  with the use of the term when discussing the evaluation of arithmetic
  expressions.

I agree.  A different term is certainly needed.  However, "preference" doesn't
seem strong enough.  How about "priority"?
