I knew someone would catch that... I just shot that off before rushing off
to work. Really what one should do is decide upon an extension for static
pages and omit that from the list, so that:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm

would allow .html pages to NOT be parsed through PHP. And as a side note,
any extension will work.
