This is a feature request.

TL;DR: Please make exact URI matches the highest priority for deep link resolution.

Currently, the navigation library places higher priority on the deep link matches with the highest number of placeholders.

Example:
Given deep links:
* deep link 1: uri="hostname/page.html"
* deep link 2: uri="hostname/{username}"
The second deep link will match even when the uri is actually "hostname/page.html".

Ian Lake suggested (in ASG) that the following might be a further refinement of the deep link resolution algorithm: "exact matches > multiple placeholders > single placeholder > partial match". This would make it possible to resolve the URIs correctly in the above example.
