David,

Without seeking reprisals from the scheduling gods, could you please
explain why, in the case of such a tie, the overall priority does not
dictate which rule wins when their specificity is the same? The
frontend offers an easy way to view/increase/decrease priority for
rules, but a complicated rule could take a fair amount of effort to
recreate.

Cheers,
Nick
