 You definately want to lose the <Limit>/</Limit>.  Well it will depend a
 bit on how you implemented things, but you almost never want those...
 because otherwise you're not protecting all methods.  You probably just
 want:
 
 <Location ...>
 UserID shea
 GroupId users
 </Location>
 
 As for the patch, I think we're going to have to stick this in contrib for
 now because we're not at a point in either the 1.2 or 1.3 development
 cycle where we want to make such a large change to a very security
 sensitive feature.  But thanks for contributing it.
