Hi Russ,

I have panicked a bit, thinking that webservers will not look in
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/ recursively. Also, I was shied by the "Should" level of the
recommendation (§11.5), understanding it like a strong request to use that
place, not like an indication that there can be a benefit to use it in some
cases.

Sorry for the noise, and have a nice day,
