OK, thank you to all who provided input, especially to Arjen and Roland
who made this confusing SQL mode a lot easier to understand.  Granted,
as Arjen pointed out, I had confused the HIGH_NOT_PRECEDENCE sql mode as
being something *that was added to provide SQL compatibility*.  Turns
out, as Arjen says, it was added to provide *backwards compatibility*
with the old, incorrect pre MySQL 4.1 behaviour.


Yes, the HIGH_NOT_PRECEDENCE mode is for backwards compatibility.

I originally wanted to call it something like BACKWARDS_COMPAT_NOT but after a short discussion with PeterG, we opted for the name you see.
