Not quite true.  The execute flag can be used by Apache, as a way of
having it parse a file for SSI tags.  It can, also, look at the filename
suffix, but sometimes you need to keep the suffix the same as it always
used to be (so not to break links, as well as other reasons), and the
execute bit is a convenient alternative way to change the behaviour.  I
use this all the time.
