Priority values are completely arbitrary.  If you wanted to, you could 
have priority values

I guess I am reading it somewhat differently from you.

I read nothing that suggests that one namespace (as a whole)can preempt 
another namespace.  In fact that is explicitly forbidden.

What is discussed as a possibility (consistent with RFC 4412)is making two 
or more namespaces "equivalent".   For instance, if you make dsn-000001 
and dsn-00000A "equivalent" then dsn-000001.0 and dsn-00000A.0 would be 
completely equal in priority. 

Similarly dsn-000001.8 and dsn-00000A.8 would be completely equivalent in 
priority.

In this case dsn-000001.0 could neither preempt, not be preempted by, 
dsn-00000A.0.  But dsn-000001.0 could be preempted by EITHER dsn-000001.8 
OR by dsn-00000A.8.

And dsn-000001.8  neither preempt, not be preempted by, dsn-00000A.8.  But 
dsn-000001.8 could preempt EITHER dsn-000001.0 OR dsn-00000A.0
