Yes, this would be similar to delegating authority to
particular users (perhaps through a web interface or something)
or one of the ISP admins who has to fix a mistake or set up
a new domain.

I would certainly prefer multiple "sections" similar
to the per IP config options.

This gets into Apache's "NameVirtualHost" parameter which
allows you to define an IP address with which to tie
multiple domain names.  You can then use the

<VirtualHost ip.from.NameVirtualHost.parameter>
    ServerName virtual.host.name

section to create/set paramters for that Virtual Domain.
So everything comes from the global section, and then this
section is used to override/add additional config options.
