TRACE not working in <Limit>

           Summary: TRACE not working in <Limit>
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.27
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: core
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: psychosos@gmx.at


According to the documentation it should be possible to limit access controls with the Limit-
Directive to various methods, _including_ TRACE. (See 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#limit)

Whenever I put a directive like 
<Limit TRACE> in my configuration file (in a valid context) I get the following error 
message:

Syntax Error on line xxx of c:/program files/.../httpd.conf:
TRACE cannot be 
controlled by <Limit>

Though I wonder if this might be a documentation bug it would be a good 
thing to be able to disable TRACE requests considering the recent discussions about XST (Cross 
Site Tracing) attacks.
