Right, but that applies to all modules (and hence deployers intending
on using httpd that way) and is not a limitation of mod_shib. And most
modules don't even allow AND'ing rules in the first place.
So IMO it's more a case of mod_shib's superiority being downgraded to
the rest of the bunch, than an actual limitation.

ACK.
