The basic rule of thumb is don't have more than one major service on a single Microsoft server machine. When the OS manufacturer says it, there must be a reason for it, so if you're looking for a reason to justify separating the two services (ie. trying to get a boss to understand), this would probably be the best route to take.
For a more specific reason, you never ever ever ever want a windows PDC to sit on the Internet. If you run a web service (Apache or IIS or WebSphere or whatever), that means it has some contact with the outside world.... aka a direct connection to the Internet (unless it's behind a port forwarding firewall, but that's a different matter and still not a good thing for a PDC). So, to satisfy the need of keeping your PDC isolated to your internal network, you really need to separate the PDC and web server functionality.
I've been a systems/network admin for both Microsoft and *nix networks, and while I prefer *nix, I still know a bit about MS and their guidelines.

Hello All! I know is totally uncool to even ask, but can anyone point me to some docs, or tell me why you should not run Windows Apache service on a Window's primary domain controller? Thanks, James
