Short of educating web server administrators about SELinux and the 
correct labels for web resources I'm not sure what else can be done. You 
don't want to use restorecond to make sure the directories are labeled 
properly because you could potentially use an improperly configured file 
upload capability to drop whatever pages you want onto the server and it 
would fixup the labels. Unfortunately education is the best option but 
not the easiest.
