SetHandler none causes httpd to step through each registered content handler until one accepts it. However there are many other places a module can hook in to. In some of those steps, all modules hooked in to that step are called, eg in the URL fixups hook - or the modules are called one by one, until one handles it, like the content handler hook. Because of this, you cannot 'remove' modules hooks for one specific location. Your module will always be called, but your module can also return DECLINED if it wants nothing to do with the request.
