suggestion for section 4.3



4.3 Enabling virtual hosting facilities

    Web packages should support registration with the system
    administrator's chosen httpd server under multiple ip based or name
    based virtual hosts.

    Several methods exist for registering a web application with several
    virtual hosts.

        * The apache module mod_env can be used to provide applications
          with information on where to find config files

        * Server environment variables such as SERVER_NAME can be used
          to provide applications with enough information to find what
          config file/script it should use

        * For php applications under apache, one can use "php_value
          auto_prepend_file" to provide configuration scripts for the
          application

    Under no circumstance should one instance of an application interfere
    with another instance.
