Hmmm... But that's not necessarily true, depending on the Order directive.
In addition, I can't understand what such a configuration would be useful
for.  If you want to deny access to unauthenticated users, you would just
set "Satisfy all" -- which is the default.

I agree that the Satisfy directive could be confusing for a novice, but I
still don't understand the exact problem you are trying to address.

This page:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/
which is linked from pretty much everywhere, tells you how to participate.
But we all miss links sometimes.  That's not a problem.
