That's a /good/ thing!

First off, all this should/could be in one httpd.conf
file rather than srm.conf and access.conf. What
version
of Apache are you running?

The plus sign seems to be optional, I don't use it for
Apaches that I'm running on HP-UX, Solaris, Win9x.

Not sure what you're asking here. Here's a couple of
tutorials that might help though:

  http://mkruse.netexpress.net/info/ssi/
  http://www.carleton.ca/~dmcfet/html/ssi1.html
 
http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/html/97/07/index2a.html?tw=html

I don't see "set" as an option for SSI. Nor
is "title_of_page" on my list. 
(http://www.anu.edu.au/web/authors/resources/ssisum.php)

<!--#echo var="DOCUMENT_NAME"--> Will show the
filename of 
the document. See the URL for other variables
available.
Note that these are case sensitive. Where did you get
'set var="title" value="title_of_page"'?

Again, not sure what you're asking. Look through the
tutorials and if they don't clear things up for you,
or if you've already read them, maybe rephrase the
question.
