... but there's still no reason to place "public html" in home dirs
and how many users uses secure chmods when creating dirs/files?
put 700 on their home dir and the user doesn't have to bother with
secure chmod when they just want do to their job, as long
as they don't put anything private in public_html/www/whatever if
there's such a dir present.
