I think I was not being clear. The use of "primary" and "secondary" were in terms of the roles played in a given document. "Primary" indicated the vocabulary associated to the doctype (e.g. whichever vocabulary the root element belonged to). "Secondary" indicated all other vocabularies that were not the primary vocabulary. As a result, a given vocabulary could be in a primary role in one case and in a secondary role in another case.
