I'll say the first set is technically wrong as it *implies* the directive
only applies to those two modules. The key is in the use of the words "both"
and "either" which imply a sum total of two possibilities.

I edited the wiki to read:

Access policy if directives from multiple access phase handlers, such as the
Access and Auth Basic modules, are defined in a context:
* all - All access phase handlers must grant access to the context
* any - Any access phase handler can grant access to the context

Thanks!
