With pow-priority, you mean one that does not get shown by default? But is that much better than allowing the interested admin to change the configuration afterwards? > Both apache2 and lighttpd use /var/www/html as the default directory > to serve, and do not touch /srv automatically.

It merely uses files that are put in a certain directory that, that the admin has to create first. Does that mitigate your concerns?
