Thanks for your work on this matter.

I found the related commit at r1675426:
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1675426

To be honest, I find the note rather hard to understand, even _with_ a
background of having understood what's going on to some extent prior to
reading.
And there is no mention of potential danger / security.

I'd provide a patch if I knew how to put it well.
Quoting a public mail of yours, 

  "If no handler is explicitly set, the content-type is copied over
  as the handler."

put it much more clearly.

Besides:

 * there is a typo "diretives", 

 * some double quotes may need conversion to "&quot;" (not sure) and

 * for "magic" I would use "artificial", instead.

My vote for re-opening, please.
