Seems that #53 added the "relationship to prefetch" note, which mentions prioritization that is not always true/backed by the spec. A lot of people are confused that preload is always fetched with high priority, but this isn't always this case, and since priorities are not standardized, I'm not sure if we can really include that.

I've included text indicating that prefetch is "often" low-priority, but if we want to remove any trace of prioritization from there too I'm happy to do that as well.

Fixes #125. /cc @yoavweiss
