i think that directory context is not just <Directory>, and the text at 
the url says the directive may be placed in <directory>, <location>, or 
<files> which i assume means <filesmatch> as well.

i did some more testing and i was able to override the forcetype (if it 
truly is working) via header('content-type'), like you'd do for serving 
images via php.  i guess i haven't tested without forcetype yet...

right, the reason is to allow foo.en.html or foo.html.en.  i'm not sure i 
agree that is good, but for simple text conditionals it is fine.  using it 
for php is just bad.
