        <pre>Freedesktop.org mime-actions-spec
(<a href="http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/mime-actions-spec">http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/mime-actions-spec</a>) states that
default application for a MIME type is the one that is listed first for a given
MIME type in section [Added Associations] of mimeapps.list, e.g.:
------
[Added Associations]
mimetype1=foo1.desktop;foo2.desktop;foo3.desktop;
------
foo1 will will be default for mimetype1

But xdg-open/xdg-mime (via generic function) uses [Default Applications]
section
which is not covered in mime-actions-spec and therefore should not even exist
in mimeapps.list. 
It also completely ignores standard [Added Associations] section in
mimeapps.list.

I edit mimeapps.list:
------
[Added Associations]
application/testapp=leafpad.desktop;
------
then run:
xdg-mime query default application/testapp
It returns nothing, but should return "leafpad.desktop".</pre>
