Peter:

I don't know how to judge if it's a good idea, or 
not -- but I do it. My .htaccess file is a bit 
different from yours, namely:

# handler for phpsuexec. -- this makes these prefixes considered for php
<FilesMatch "\.(htm|html|css|tpl)$">
  SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>

Note that I also have css in there so I can embed 
php code in css -- that's neat.

The only problem I have run into that some 
browsers, like FireFox require this --

<?php header('Content-Type: text/css; charset=UTF-8'); ?>

-- to be the first line in my non-php files. But 
that hasn't been a big problem for me.
