I think the root cause of all of this is that rewrite barely made
sense in non-htacess directory contexts, and then was tolerated in
Location, and then further tolerated in <If>. So code/doc that were
primarily about htaccess now apply differently.  Further, if it was
intuitive it would probably omitted from the docs.

Maybe there should be a prominent "warn" type note about using Rewrite
in <if>, outside of RewriteOptions.  It's often necessary because
there are no lower level primitives that you can use inside <If> to
take the same actions as mod_rewrite.
