Might not be a bad idea as there's nothing in the validator distribution that 
maps *.js to any particular MIME type (no js in the shipped mime.types file 
either - perhaps that should be removed, BTW, it looks somewhat outdated and 
incomplete).

But more importantly, shouldn't these ExpiresByType directives be set only 
within <Directory /usr/local/validator/htdocs/>?  Otherwise I suppose they'd 
affect the whole server/virtual host/similar.
