Actually, RFC 2046 is more recent, but says nearly the exact same 
thing. It adds:

     Systems should recognize that the content of the various parts [of
     multipart/alternative sections] are interchangeable.  Systems
     should choose the "best" type based on the local environment and
     references, in some cases even through user interaction.

By "Systems", I'm pretty sure they mean "recipient systems".
