I currently don't make effective use of priorities. However, I do like letters because they're less ambiguous; the letter A appears to mean both "most important" and "do it first", while the numeral 1 could mean "do it first" or "most important" OR "least important". However, in the end, priority markers should be anything that works for the individual, and being able to change their display makes sense. -- David
