To attempt to reduce this to an example:
Basis case: Multiple clients speaking directly to an agent.  Clients have
distinct priorities.  Priority causes config to tie-break appropriately
among the various client interactions.

Proxy case: Agent is against as "root" from a proxy, potentially with the
a single priority.  As long as the proxy maintains the tie-breaking as if it
had implemented the agent operations, it's okay that the resultant nodes may
have the same priority associated with them?

Gloss: We still haven't concluded our discussion as to whether the nodes are
decorated as "owned by an identity" or "have a priority".  

Note that the gloss has an interesting impact.  If nodes are expected to get
their priority via identity, this makes things very messy if you don't
maintain multiple identities to have distinct priorities in the proxy case.
