I think in-addition-to would be confusing. I considered the envvar in lieu of the directive, but over the years I've come to think that style is not preferred. My guess is that old browsers handled relative redirects long before 723X, but it would suck to have to use <If> or add the envvar if someone really need to turn on this obscure flag AND cope with a client that got confused by them.
