Okay I took a look at Acceptpathnfo docs for v2 and I think I know what 
you mean. See the section of "default settings" because it reminds us 
that the default Apache HANDLER doesn't accept trailing string info on 
the resource name, but most SCRIPT handlers do (by default). Thus to use 
the default handler and get that railing info, you need this 
AcceptPathInfo stuff.

Since I use a FILES directive to set a php handler for my root scripts, 
the trailing info is present without that (i.e. in 1.3x).
