The meaning of "/usr/local/etc/xdg:/etc/xdg" with cascading-merge is that 
the former overrides the latter. So, yes, /usr/local/etc/xdg is to be 
preferred over /etc/xdg, under normal circumstances.

The point is that an [$i] in /etc/xdg locks down saying "stop processing 
here". It looks correct to me.
