Perhaps group readable (074x, x being usually 0) and setting the file's
group would suffice?

That's my standard setup: the files belong to a "www admin" (can be a
regular user, can be root) and have the group www-data. So the web
server hasn't (usually) write access to normal htmls and cgi-bins
(oh, for the last, execute access for the group is necessary, so 075x.

Better safe than...
