But it seems to me that if outside-staff-priority is set for one grob, and
not for the other, then they should be compared by script-priority, since
there is *not* an outside-staff priority.

Then, the script-column will have the outside-staff-priority of the lowest
element, and the scripts will be ordered within the column by script
priority.

Does this mean we need to establish the outside-staff-priority for *all*
scripts?
