+The documentation for `notmuch-search-line-faces' says:\r
+\r
+> The attributes defined for matching tags are merged, with later\r
+> attributes overriding earlier.\r
+\r
+A comment in `notmuch-search-color-line', which implements this, says:\r
+\r
+> ;; Reverse the list so earlier entries take precedence\r
+\r
+Clearly these two are at odds. The implementation of\r
+`notmuch-search-color-line' follows the comment. That is, earlier\r
+entries in the list take precedence.\r
+\r
+The original implementation of `notmuch-search-color-line' followed the\r
+documentation of the user-visible variable, but this was changed by\r
+commit 60ebc849 in July 2012.\r
+\r
+I'm inclined to go with the documentation and change the implementation,\r
+but this could obviously ruin things for some users until they reorder\r
+their settings.\r
+\r
+Thoughts?\r
