+ * negative) values have higher priority.
+ *
+ * This interface does not strictly define what happens when the priority of an
+ * object is changed.  An implementation of this interface is free to define
+ * the side-effects of changing the priority of an object.  In some cases,
+ * changing the priority of an object may be disallowed (resulting in an
+ * exception being thrown) or may simply be ignored.
