Just little advice if you are using this htaccess mod and use Google Webmaster Tools. As you probably know, to use GWT, you must first verify that you are a site owner. This can be done in 2 ways: by uploading specific .html file to your root, or by adding meta tag to page header. Then Google checks existence of this file or meta tag on your site, to verify that you are webmaster of the site. I you are used .html file method and applied this htaccess mod (which is great,
BTW 
), you will lose site verification at Google, because any 404 link from your site will still return page. To maintain site ownership in this case, you should switch to meta tag method, by adding
<meta name="verify-v1" content="xxxxxx(random Google provided code)xxxxxxxxxxx=" /> line to head section of your overall_header.tpl.
Not a biggie, but I thought it might save someone's time.
