It seems the matching of attributes works a little strange,
or at least different from xrm.

If I specify (in an app-defaults-file)

Test.test: level0

	the session root style (/) gets the value level0 for test
	which it should

	but *omit*

! Test.foo.test: level1

	the style /foo inherits the value level0,
	which it shouldn't (I think)

	also if I instead of

! Test.foo.bar.test: level2

	write

Test.bar.test: level2

	then the style /foo/bar still finds the value level2, 
	which it shouldn't (I think)

Is there any difference between . and *?

Is this the way it works, or did I make some mistake?
Is this the way it should work?
If so, why?
