--- Comment #7 from Rex Dieter <rdieter at math.unl.edu> ---
Re-reading
http://standards.freedesktop.org/mime-apps-spec/mime-apps-spec-1.0.html
today.

Important bits:

---------------------------
Default Application

Indicating the default application for a given mimetype is done by writing into
the group [Default Applications] in the file mimeapps.list.

The [Default Applications] group indicates the preferred application for a
given mimetype.
---------------------------

---------------------------
Adding/removing associations

Adding and removing associations between mimetypes and applications is done
with the following syntax in the mimeapps.list file:

[Added Associations]
mimetype1=foo1.desktop;foo2.desktop;foo3.desktop
mimetype2=foo4.desktop
[Removed Associations]
mimetype1=foo5.desktop
---------------------------

---------------------------
Application ordering

The suggested algorithm for listing the applications associated to a given
mimetype is:

    add any "Default Applications" and then "Added Associations" in the first
mimeapps.list

...
---------------------------

So looks like this has been clarified since the bug was filed, and that all of:
[Default Applications]
[Added Associations]
[Removed Associations]
need to be taken into account, highlighting that the xdg-open generic algorithm
definitely needs work to comply.
