I found this behavior surprising. Mhmmm; actually, that's exactly what I'm using in environments where I don't have access to the main server configuration. :-) E.g. domain1 points to /var/www, domain2 to /var/www/sub and /var/www/sub/.htaccess inherits (i.e. 1:1 copy) /var/www/.htaccess. A regEx of ^foo$ in /var/www/sub/.htaccess would match against a filename /var/www/foo and against /var/www/sub/foo in /var/www/sub/.htaccess caused by inheriting, which is intended (the per-dir prefix is striped prior matching, of course). The URL-path (which doesn't matter in per-dir context for matching) would be in both cases /foo while the domain is different. Two different setups - two different intentions about overriding the parent configuration and the inheritage of the rules.
