What about keeping the simple SSLPolicy directive (the name of the 
policy to apply) and renaming the container directive from <SSLPolicy> 
to <SSLPolicyDefinition>.

One other solution would by keeping <SSLPolicy> and rewnaming the simple 
directive to SSLPolicyApply.

Sounds fine to me. I will also respect your decision if you choose not 
to make this change, as I said elsewhere in the thread.

Sounds like a good change if anyone asks me. :)

Thanks for all the input. What I see is consensus about the SSLPolicy change:

'SSLPolicy'  -> stay as is
'<SSLPolicy' -> '<SSLPolicyDefine'

(I prefer the verb above the noun here since mod_ssl uses verbs in other config name.)

If no one objects, I will go for this change in the next days.

Cheers,

Stefan
