Which docs suggest that?

For what it's worth, it's conventional for Apache to serve out documents
that have world-readable permissions (the "other" user), since it's
usually not going to be known users reading something on a world wide
web server.  As such, it doesn't matter who owns the files being read,
but ownership is important for authoring purposes (authors do need write
access to their own files), and security reasons (the server shouldn't,
generally, have write access).
