It is a design feature of KPML, in fact, an advance in the state of the art,
for multiple, independent, unrelated applications to subscribe for user
stimulus from the same device.

Making multiple subscription handling at the device optional and not
mandatory was, IMHO, an unfortunate loss at the hands of work group
consensus.

However, stating that it is non-deterministic is incorrect.  The subsequent
subscribers know reliably the device rejected their subscription request.
