Re: [dxwg] Specify the realisation order of precedence for conflicting profile negotiation situations (#505)

I think it's okay to go with the QSA approach over HTTP headers, since handling query strings would have to be done by a separate web app, so the web server would know to hand it off without parsing anyway, and returning a 404 for a client request that assumes the wrong approach seems reasonable. Since we are allowing for alternative realizations, how does the order of precedence work with as-yet-unspecified ones? Maybe the only real conflict is between HTTP headers and web apps. When you say that "a client MAY specify conflicting choices via different mechanisms", I think you don't mean the RFC2119 version of "may" here. Maybe "In the case where a client requests one profile via one mechanism and another profile via a different mechanism, the order of precedence . . ."
