</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
    <para>If the stylesheet parameter <parameter>preferred.mediaobject.role</parameter> has a value, then the object whose role equals that value is selected.</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Else if an object's role attribute has a value of
<literal>html</literal> for HTML processing or
<literal>fo</literal> for FO output, then the first
of such objects is selected.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Else the first suitable object is selected.</para>
</listitem>
