Description

If a node is added to config.xml with same name and matching attributes as an existing node, but it is missing attributes, it is treated as an exact match during config munge and is not added to platform config.xml. For example, when the following tags are present in www/config.xml, then second tag will not be added to platforms/android/res/xml/config.xml:

<access origin="*" launch-external="yes"/>
<access origin="*" />

AFAIK, this is most important for access tags, but will affect any tag where it is possible for one tag to be a subset of another tag.
