Indeed.  It is probably not overly helpful speaking of popping values
since that
is ambiguous between "getting them" and "discarding them".  What is
popped is
actually the stack itself.  If we want to avoid too much programmer
lingo, we
probably would rather write something like

"The use of @code{\temporary} causes the (usually set)
@code{pop-first} property
in the override to be cleared, so the previous value is not popped off
the
property stack before pushing the new value onto it.  When a
subsequent
@code{\revert} pops off the temporarily overriden value, the previous
value will
reemerge."

Much clearer!  Thanks, both!

Done
