If one were building a system from scratch, I'd certainly agree with you. When
one puts embperl into an already-built environment using an extension (.html)
that is already in wide use, you find that you often wish to disable embperl
on file that already exist and do not use embperl. Our choice was not made
lightly. It was the best solution to a murky situation. If you care, I could
go into detail on it.

Since there's no UnSetHandler, once you've set the handler for a certain file
pattern ( .*\.html$ ), you're stuck with it across the entirety of the site.

Christian
