BTW, if you get rid of read permission for a directory, directory 
listing is not possible under UNIX like systems. You can still 
read/write files with proper permission. (unlink/create files with 
proper permission also. You can get rid of write permission for 
directory, too.)

Just in case, you didn't know about it :)

php.ini entries like

safe_mode_opendir_sid
safe_mode_opendir_gid

will help to improve security still.
I just don't need this kind of feature, but others may need it.
