I am confused - what about this isn't public?

Also, I am not super enamored of trying to support multiple management
formats.  .htaccess is authoritative but complex.  I don't mind one
alternative for people who don't want to mess with the .htaccess
complexities.  CSV has the advantage of being a W3C Recommendation.  Is
there a reason to support more than one?
