You add it in [Added Applications] (or [Default Applications] if you
need it as default), lower downstream.
When the spec says "read from most local to most global", it does
imply you should pick up the results in the order they were read.

You seem very intent on the spec not working the way you want, when it
does exactly what you're asking it to. I'm sure it could use wording
improvements but downstream (more-local) does override.
