Yes ... and that reminds me (worth mentioning since we're on the
subject)...:

Actually very little code should need to access any of these
directly.  The code is Request should wrap just about all
of it (or could be fixed to do so.)  I think config.php
(because it executes before the Request is instantiated)
and Request.php are the only files which actually need to
access the $HTTP_*_VARS/$_* directly.  (And RPC2.php, too,
off course...)

PS: I admit Request could be better documented...
