For what is worth, I would proceed as in the following:

1) If a contact with the abuse role exists:

1.a)  If at least one pref parameter exists, I would return only the most preferred email address;

1.b)  If the pref parameter is missing, I would return all the email addresses in order of appearance.

2) If a contact with the abuse role is missing, I would return no abuse email address

Hope It could be helpful.

Yup, that's an applicable hint.  I'd suggest to publish it as a default profile in the next RFC.  (I don't know how to get profiles, let alone parsing them. Having a default profile allows to make sense of APNIC's preferences.)

Don't think this is a matter of an RFC.


Why not?


What I suggested, it can be valid as a general rule applicable to every RDAP response provided that the server returns a contact with the abuse role.


So the missing paragraph about "pref" could be filed as an erratum to RFC7483?


For example, it can be applied to APNIC's abuse contacts as well as to the abuse contacts returned by the gTLDs' RDAP servers according to what is stated in Section 2.4.5 of https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/rdap-response-profile-15feb19-en.pdf


Apart from that document not mentioning preferences, IMHO it is important that "pref" has a standard meaning. If users need to gather it from specific profiles, the very concept of a "grand unified specification"[*] would get cracked.


Best
