I am not a httpd guru, but I searched a little bit ;-) httpd supports input and output filters [1] (like Servlets ;-) While AddOutputFilter [2] adds a named filter to an URL pattern.
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .html --> Adds the output filter "INCLUDES" to all URLs wich ends on ".html" So next question: what does that filter do? Try to find a module with that name and you'll see mod_include [3] is the right one: "Implemented as an output filter since Apache 2.0" "This module provides a filter which will process files before they are sent to the client. The processing is controlled by specially formatted SGML comments, referred to as elements. These elements allow conditional text, the inclusion of other files or programs, as well as the setting and printing of environment variables." Nice - was new to me ...
