So, in normal situation, no difference will be made between messages with or without priority indication. And when required to prioritize the messages, it is normal to take into account “in priority” the priority indication included in the messages when available. Messages with priority indication will be handled with a best-effort approach when nothing else is defined (by application or operator policy).

The whole point of this is that when a flood of messages happens, lower priority messages get less preferential treatment, as opposed to random messages (as it is now without this extension) getting less preferential treatment.
