Doesn't this risk suggesting that the settings from only one of the two
files will be used?

Here's my current text:

    When both @file{.editorconfig} and @file{.dir-locals.el} files are
    found, their settings are combined, and in case of a conflict, the
    setting coming from the closest file takes precedence.
    If they are equally close, @file{.dir-locals.el} takes precedence.
