Not a wide variety at all, just three

I have re-read my report, and I don't see where the "irate tone of the rant"
becomes in any way an obstacle in understanding the description of the issue
which seems pretty clear to me.

Anyway,

To be more precise, a request for FIX, of a documentation bug

Yep, 

> * Document the meaning of the SCRIPT_NAME environment variable

yes, especially how on earth this can be set to an absolute url such as
http://somedomain.com. Actually it's hard to see how that can not be a bug.
Remember that two almost identical servers with the same seemingly-relevant
directives exhibit different behavior here. The documentation should allow me
to figure out what difference in configuration is causing the difference in
behavior.


And then you are leaving out PHP_SELF. Despite the fact that it's a
PHP-specific variable, there's no way, according to how it's defined in PHP
documentation, that it can be an absolute URL; hence it must be Apache doing
something to it. And most probably this is related to mod_rewrite or some
interaction between mod_rewrite and some other module, as I only observe that
when rewrite rules are being applied.
So, there's almost certainly something that is under the responsibility of
Apache (as opposed to PHP), affecting this variable, that needs to be
documented.
