A clarification on @skip / @include precedence

[BoD]

The spec edits mention @include and @skip take precedence over @defer and @stream.

I'm not 100% clear on what that means for a fragment with both @defer(if: true) @include(if: true) - should the defer directive be honored or not in this case?

Yes the fragment should be deferred in that case. When@defer(if: true) is paired with @include(if: false) or @skip(if: true), these fragment should be removed entirely and not deferred.

Do you have any suggestions on how the spec language can be clarified?

[BoD]

Thanks! That makes sense.

how the spec language can be clarified?

Tough one! :) Maybe something like "A fragment's execution should be delayed according to @defer even with@include(if: true) or @skip(if: false)"?

Or maybe the original sentence could be changed to "@include(if: false) and @skip(if: true) take precedence over @defer", if that makes any sense.
