Here's an observation going back to 1.3, and folk's disgruntled reactions to
the README and HEADER files not working correctly when the DefaultType is set
to application/octet-stream.
Back in 1.3, the first element, *including* the leading slash, was processed.
In theory, setting up a AddType text/plain /HEADER /README might have worked
(I haven't tested the theory, for several other reasons it's probably broken
anyways on 1.3.)
Is this useful to allow an AddType/Icon/Description/Handler for a /foo element,
where the user has no file extension? Do we want to 'restore' this undocumented
feature?
