You may want to enclose it in quotes, and make them escape paths that have
quotes in them.  I don't know that you want to _require_ full paths (using
paths relative to the directory in <Director> keeps the conf file
consise) but it would be nice to be able to deal with them.

double quotes on anything that isn't a numeric value.  ie: "myusername",
"bob2", 1234, 0x1234...  things that aren't numeric should be delimited by
something in case the string has some strange ass characters.
