I don't think you really have a very broad working knowledge of web server
administration -- these features, properly configured, are not nearly so
"sweeping" and insecure as you're trying to paint them. The neither
mod_rewrite nor .htaccess have access to directories higher than them in
the heirarchy of domains/folders -- that said, unless my user account is
installed under another user's account (which isn't the case) -- I'm afraid
I have all these features without the imposition of huge security holes.
