I think we should indeed have such a new priority level.  I like the
label `preferred'.

This should include the `best example' of everything, or several
examples if there is no clear best and both are in widespread use.
It should not include any electronic texts not related to computers
(so doc-rfc is OK, but not bible-kjv et al) and no journals.
