Comment(by stippi):

 I will implement Axel's suggestion to only use other supporting apps as
 fallback, i.e. when there is a misconfiguration in the MIME database. If a
 sub-type has no preferred app configured, the new algorithm would
 immediately fall back to the super type preferred handler, even if there
 are apps installed that claim direct support for the sub-type. This allows
 any app to declare support for specific sub-types (even when it makes no
 sense to do so) and still have a deterministic behavior.
