Well, Apache (or whatever webserver) is the one that passes those vrbls on
to the ENV (not the browser). However some browsers set different vrbls
that may get passed on. One wouldn't want to depend on these unless it
was in a closed system where only one browser was in use.

Probably. :) I tested the ENV content from a protected and non-protected
tree and those are the only two keys that were added (AUTH_TYPE REMOTE_USER).
NS also has these two from the browser that MSIE doesn't have (on my tests):
HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET HTTP_KEEP_ALIVE
which really have no bearing.
