Agree, that's basically what I was trying to say above.  :-)

It may be, but if it is the default Apache behavior and is not
configurable on a per-user basis, using PUT will seriously get in the
way of all the people who want to set up their own instance in shared
hosting environments.  Most of the people inquiring about setting up
Snowy in #tomboy and #snowy have been in that situation.  But yeah,
seeing docs on this would be great to make sure we really understand
it.
