We've never really settled on how we refer to it in the docs. I find
"Apache HTTP Server" to be too long to use in some places, but it is
the official name. You'll also find "Apache httpd" and just plain
"Apache" in some places. I don't particularly like "Apache HTTPd".
I agree. Is it worth replacing Apache HTTPd with Apache httpd or
should this wait for a consensus?

Put the new method with a note that it is available only starting in 2.2.3.
By note, do you mean a pullout box like the note atop the
mod_vhost_alias docs? I'm rather new to the style of these docs so
excuse my silly questions.
Here's a first pop, I'm not too happy with it though.
