If you have a CGI called 'foo' that gets arguments in path info which appear to be html pages (such as http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/foo/some_page.html) and you don't have the RemoveHandler entry, the URL will be handled by Mason, rather than the CGI, because of the .html extension (assuming you map all your .html extensions to Mason somewhere else in your configuration).
