It is higher.  That's what happens when the lines intersect.  The effect is 
additive.  Unless you have a mode setting where the compositing replaces what's 
below it.

The alpha of the top curve doesn't change at the intersection point.  What 
you're doing is putting one alpha-ed pixel on top of another, and the alpha on 
the top one lets the one below it show through based on the alpha value of the 
top pixel.
