+1 here, too. Yes, there are RewriteRule 'flags', but as this particular user observed, getting the flags right can be tricky. Explicit directives for uri -> uri, uri -> file and uri -> proxy transformations would be much less error prone. In the same spirit as axing the <Foo ~ ""> regex match syntax becoming <FooMatch "">.
