:o)

Would people prefer to use "high"/"normal"/"low" instead? I though that we might want to use relational on the priority, thus it is a number for now.

I was thinking a number which can be followed by a description. Then you can use i;ascii-numeric comparator to ignore the text if you want to use the :value match type. ie "1 Low", "2", "3 Medium", "8 Uber High" etc.

Which now makes me think we drop it entirely leaving this feature to the variables extension, however I guess the reason we have it is not for filtering in the Sieve domain, but rather to pass to the notification mechanism,

Yes.

in which case the content of this field is very dependant on which notification mechanism that is in use.

Actually not, the content should be mapped to values expected by the notification mechanism.

Perhaps we could use mailto: as an example and show this field in use to set the x-priority header?

Sure.
