It appears that the 'accumulation' of "DirectoryIndex" directives is now
documented, but that it doesn't always behave as documented. For example I have
the following in my .htaccess file

DirectoryIndex anUnlikelyCombinationOfCharacters


Which effectively disables the use of DirectoryIndex (it is ignoring both
index.htm and index.html in the subdirectories where I placed the .htaccess file).

My global configuration looks like this...

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html


I would like to suggest the following very simple syntax to deal with the
(broken?) accumulation behaviour...

DirectoryIndex off


I imagine it is extremely rare for someone to use the file 'off' as the
directory index, and such people should be made to pay for their eccentricity,
not cosseted like babies. 

Thanks very much for your consideration,

Dan.
