Re: First item rule

I can see how this would make sense for binding controls. But then other
uses like actions might not be as clear.

One benefit of the first item rule is that it is easy to understand.
Introducing relevance makes things a bit harder.

When relevance matters, you can easily be explicit, with:

    ref="foo[relevant()]"

But I can't say that I have a very strong opinion about the idea at this
point.
