We considered that some time ago, wrote some patches, ended up proxying 
to Apache everything except a well-defined set of static file extensions 
(and 404s for rewrites).

Not being fully Apache-compatible frustrates your users as they have to 
learn a new syntax and -- this is the major problem -- cannot use 
ready-made apps with bundled .htaccess files. By the time you end up 
mostly compatible, you will have implemented half of Apache anyway.
