That is if you just need to find the default. And IF [Default Application]
for the type even exists in the hierarchy.

How to get whole list of associations of given mime type then? Spec says to
iterate from local to global, concatenate [Added] and [Removed] separately,
then use all [Added] minus [Removed] as blacklist. This means that local
[Added] does not override global [Removed].

You proceed the same way for every kind of item you want, adding items
to the blacklist ([Removed]) as you go along. You exclude items from
ever being added to the list if they are blacklisted; this avoids
dealing with blacklist priorities separately.

So if generic mimeapps.list removes an item, and $desktop-mimeapps.list adds it, it still remains removed, despite $desktop-mimeapps.list has precedence as more local? Why not just to follow simple rule: downstream overrides?
