I haven’t seen any so far, and AFAICT the ‘internal’ values are
consistently 0–?Z.  Can you think of any area where this might cause
issues Derek?

Agreed, I think besides the doc strings, adding something like this in
the manual would be enough:

  Mixed ranges of numbers and characters are also permitted, e.g., to
  get the full range of priorities you could set:

  #+PRIORITIES: 0 Z A

  Numbers have a higher priority than characters and will appear first
  when sorted.
