A little too fast on the fingers. I didn't mean to remove these.

+ <h1 align="CENTER">Terms Used to Describe Apache Modules</h1>
+
+ <p>Each Apache module is described using a common format that
+ looks like this:</p>
+
+ <dl>
+ <dd><a href="#Status" rel="Help"><strong>Status:</strong></a>
+ <em>status</em><br />
+ <a href="#SourceFile" rel="Help"><strong>Source
+ File:</strong></a> <em>source-file</em><br />
+ <a href="#ModuleIdentifier" rel="Help"><strong>Module
+ Identifier:</strong></a> <em>module-identifier</em><br />
+ <a href="#Compatibility"
+ rel="Help"><strong>Compatibility:</strong></a>
+ <em>compatibility notes</em></dd>
+ </dl>
+
+ <p>Each of the attributes, complete with values where possible,
+ are described in this document.</p>
+
+ <h2>Module Terms</h2>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li><a href="#Status">Status</a></li>
+
+ <li><a href="#SourceFile">Source File</a></li>
+
+ <li><a href="#ModuleIdentifier">Module Identifier</a></li>
+
+ <li><a href="#Compatibility">Compatibility</a></li>
+ </ul>
+ <hr />
+
+ <h2><a id="Status" name="Status">Status</a></h2>
+
+ <p>This indicates how tightly bound into the Apache Web server
+ the module is; in other words, you may need to recompile the
+ server in order to gain access to the module and its
+ functionality. Possible values for this attribute are:</p>
+
+ <dl>
+ <dt><strong>MPM</strong></dt>
+
+ <dd>A module with status "MPM" is a <a
+ href="../mpm.html">Multi-Processing Module</a>. Unlike the
+ other types of modules, Apache must have one and only one MPM
+ in use at any time. This type of module is responsible for
+ basic request handling and dispatching.</dd>
+
+ <dt><strong>Base</strong></dt>
+
+ <dd>A module labeled as having "Base" status is compiled and
+ loaded into the server by default, and is therefore normally
+ available unless you have taken steps to remove the module
+ from your configuration.</dd>
+
+ <dt><strong>Extension</strong></dt>
+
+ <dd>A module with "Extension" status is not normally compiled
+ and loaded into the server. To enable the module and its
+ functionality, you may need to change the server build
+ configuration files and re-compile Apache.</dd>
+
+ <dt><strong>Experimental</strong></dt>
+
+ <dd>"Experimental" status indicates that the module is
+ available as part of the Apache kit, but you are on your own
+ if you try to use it. The module is being documented for
+ completeness, and is not necessarily supported.</dd>
+
+ <dt><strong>External</strong></dt>
+
+ <dd>Modules which are not included with the base Apache
+ distribution ("third-party modules") may use the "External"
+ status. We are not responsible for, nor do we support such
+ modules.</dd>
+ </dl>
+ <hr />
+
+ <h2><a id="SourceFile" name="SourceFile">Source File</a></h2>
+
+ <p>This quite simply lists the name of the source file which
+ contains the code for the module. This is also the name used by
+ the <a
+ href="core.html#ifmodule"><code>&lt;IfModule&gt;</code></a>
+ directive.</p>
+ <hr />
+
+ <h2><a id="ModuleIdentifier" name="ModuleIdentifier">Module
+ Identifier</a></h2>
+
+ <p>This is a string which identifies the module for use in the
+ <a href="mod_so.html#loadmodule">LoadModule</a> directive when
+ dynamically loading modules. In particular, it is the name of
+ the external variable of type module in the source file.</p>
+ <hr />
+
+ <h2><a id="Compatibility"
+ name="Compatibility">Compatibility</a></h2>
+
+ <p>If the module was not part of the original Apache version 2
+ distribution, the version in which it was introduced should be
+ listed here.</p>
