This reminds me of rules of water -- an unpowered boat has
right of way over powered. In other words, a sailboat has
RoW crossing in front of a large oil tanker.
Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's a good idea. I
agree with the original poster. Doesn't hurt to stop at
the intersection and check -- just in case. There have been
reported incidents and accidents where the tower forgot
about the little aircraft taxiing around with jets coming
in.
No one is ever going to fault you for being careful. Tower/ground
may be annoyed at delays in a busy airport, but being safe
is better.
