Do you want to make lua a requirement for httpd core? Is lua available for all plattforms that httpd runs on? Is lua fast enough for being used in e.g. mod_filter and mod_headers? We already have two expression languages in httpd (three if you count RewriteCond). One is in mod_ssl and one in mod_include. We can drop neither for backward compatibility. I think that mod_ssl's parser is much better suited as a general purpose tool than mod_include's parser.
