Exactly right. The read to ~/public_html is not necessary if
you have +x and a suitable index file underneath which is
readable, but it doesn't really hurt. (some people might not
want their web directories 'indexable'. Those people will
not want +r, but they will also want to turn of their web
server's directory indexing feature too).
