Quoting RFC 2046, Section 5.1.4. Alternative Subtype:
«Systems should choose the "best" type based on the local environment and
references, in some cases even through user interaction.»

So, what I am proposing, is that Imp should choose, in accordance with RFC
2046,  the remaining original alternative, as it is definitely "better"
than the removed one. Or is there some other RFC dealing with
multipart/alternative that contradicts this approach?

Of course, Imp can choose that alternative through user action; however, a
sensible choice without user intervention would be superior, wouldn't it?
