Description
> Another question: if a join event for a room alias that should be forwarded to an app service comes in, and more than one app service's namespace matches it, should we GET `/rooms/{roomAlias}` on both app services, potentially creating two rooms? Because with the way things are currently set up, and alias namespaces aren't marked as exclusive, this could happen.

Research direction
Read the application service API reference linked in the issue and the related matrix-doc issue 559 first. Resolve how matching alias namespaces should be handled when multiple app services match, including whether both should receive GET /rooms/{roomAlias}; done means the specification states one unambiguous interaction.
