Hi Dmitry,

I would like to suggest that the .htaccess suggested mods were a
short-term fix to 404 handling concerns with TYPO3.

In response to your comment 'Enable PATH_INFO in Apache',
what do you suggest when a TYPO3 user has no access to
change/modify 'PATH_INFO in Apache'.

Please let us not foucs on the suggested short-term fix to .htaccess file
suggested by myself...

With respect, I would like to ask for thoughts mainly on my suggested
idea behind my Long term thughts on getting 404 handling as
commented in my original post, cheers.

By the way, I have tested my theories for requesting not available URL
resource requests on a set of random live TYPO3 websites with the same
error of redirecting to  requests to the available 'root' page of TYPO3
installs, with similar results, i.e. that is those sites redirect back to 
the
home page, (root page), of the typo3 websites. I have not listed the
URLs of those tested sites to date because I wish to respect those
tested sitesand their install procedures, configs etc.
