It is explicit in the specification by the statements that an unspecified
condition tests true for that condition and the first condition where all
tests are true is the first one that is used.
I can certainly understand one might construe from instinct that a "more
specific set of tests" as being more important, but 6.4.10 clearly talks
about "tested in order from the beginning of the sequence of children".
6.4.11 states "the initial value of all the properties makes the
corresponding sub-condition true, this really means that the subset of
traits that are derived from properties with specified values must make the
corresponding sub-condition true."
The documentation in my book and my succinct answer to your question comes
from boiling down the main points above from the Rec.
Which is why I wrote a book! :{)} Remember that the Recommendation was
written for XSL-FO engine implementers, not for stylesheet writers.
I hope this helps.
