Rule of Five Questions

I'm curious how others interpret and apply the 'Rule of Five' in their games.

For example, on ITL pg 149 the rules state... "Items that act directly on attributes, increasing ST, DX, or IQ, are a special case. Only the most powerful one works; if you had a ring granting +2 DX and another granting +1, only the more powerful one would work. And you may get only a total of +5 to all attributes from magic items."

Does the last sentence mean the character is limited to +5 to each attribute or is it a total of +5 spread across all three?
