[Devel] Re: priorities in osp reply?

OSP response lists destinations in the order they should be tried.  However, 
each destination does not have an explicit priority.

Yes, prepare first | next functions will try OSP destinations in the order 
they were returned.

It does not set q values.  The destinations do not have explicit priorities, 
but I guess the function could generate q values to indicate that the 1st 
destination is more important than the 2nd one and so on.
