I noticed that these two produce different answers:

 a OR b NOT c

 a OR b AND NOT c

That seems suprising and undesirable, and since nobody else
seems to
care enough about this one way or the other to voice their
opinion,
I've decide to change the order of precedence.  It was:

AND 'AND NOT'
OR XOR NOT (equal)

Now it's:

AND 'AND NOT' NOT (equal)
XOR
OR

Cheers,
