Check out RFC 1812.

This RFC defines what "longest match" means (under "5.2.4.3 Next Hop Address").

There is a number of references to the longest match method in the RFC.  This RFC more-or-less specifies that internet gateways (routers) should use this method when operating in a classless fashion, as most routers do these days.
