I do not agree.

First, this works the same way:

<Files ~ "\.inc\..*$">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</Files>

Second, which way are you differ PHP .inc files from HTML .inc files?
Many programs can't too... IMHO it is very inconvenient.

Third, I always write context-independent include files.

Objections?

Thank you.
