Roger that, no xreflabels ;-).  Attached is a log of the IRC
conversation between Jamie and myself about the SSLOptions.

The highlights:

  +CompatEnvVars)  should not be used:
                                 Syntax error on line 11 of 
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/strandboge.com_ssl:
                                 SSLOptions: Illegal option 'CompatEnvVars'

    +StrictRequire)     should definitely be there:
                                  it makes sure that when using SSLRequireSSL 
that access is forbidden
                                  (that is the intuitive use of SSLRequireSSL)

    +FakeBasicAuth)   I am not sure FakeBasicAuth is a good default:
                                  it allows using a client cert instead of 
basic authentication if the client has a valid one
                                  that is not an intuitive use IMO and would be 
site-specific

     +ExportCertData)  seems harmless enough-- exports ssl environment 
variables so cgi can access them
                                    it too seems site-specific
                                    so really, all can go with no problems, but 
I really think +StrictRequire should stay


Also, here is a link to the Apache doc describing the options:
