With our current proposal, it doesn't matter -- any match will cause delivery by an identical means. What this probably means for UAs is that they short-circuit and once they find a match, there's no need to check any more. But if they want to look through all of them, that's fine and I think shouldn't be constrained in the spec. I want to make sure there isn't a larger bug, where the whole purpose of the section is unclear.
