Right now, "All|None|directive-type [directive-type]..." is mentioned.

It would be great if a web admin could in general allow users who may own a
subdirectory of a document tree to set an .htaccess of their desire as long as
it is more restrictive than the glowal settings.
I suggest an additional directive "Restrict" for this.

This would disallow rights-expansion as described in
http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16801

If there are already ways to do that easily, it would be great to mention them
in the documentation at the above referenced URL.
