Couldn't you simply say that when more than one key matches, use the

How do others feel about this? 

I think first we need clarification from you about whether
you intended, in your approach, that (variants in) bundles
can overlap. There is no indication in your draft that they
can't, but on the other hand, there is no indication that you
were aware of the fact that they could.

I will add text saying that they cannot overlap, and add steps in the process to check for that.
