Having them point to www would, I think (?), skip past the default 
settings on the server (not so good for people who want to use the 
server's ini) wouldn't it?  And also they'd need further help when they 
need to tweak settings in subdirectories.  Which is really pretty common 
- alot of times people will want seperate php.ini's for their carts 
(larger mem. limits) and their support systems (larger file uploads, for 
example).

And tweaking all those pages manually would be alot of work for 
programmer types, let alone our average customers. Plus the software 
vendors are always wanting the settings tweaked - people editing their 
programs by hand every time they needed to change a limit could be messy.

My only idea so far is to copy their root php.inis to all their 
subdirectories.. and be thankful that most of our servers aren't on 
php5. :-/
