-<p>Usage is basically similar to
-<directive module="mod_proxy">ProxyPassReverse</directive>, but instead of
-rewriting headers that are a URL, this rewrites the <code>path</code>
-string in <code>Set-Cookie</code> headers.</p>
+<p>
+Useful in conjunction with
+<directive module="mod_proxy">ProxyPassReverse</directive>
+in situations where backend URL paths are mapped to public paths on the
+reverse proxy. This directive rewrites the <code>path</code> string in
+<code>Set-Cookie</code> headers. If the beginning of the cookie path matches
+<var>internal-path</var>, the cookie path will be replaced with
+<var>public-path</var>.
+</p><p>
+In the example given with 
+<directive module="mod_proxy">ProxyPassReverse</directive>, the directive:
+    <example>
+      ProxyPassReverseCookiePath  /  /mirror/foo/
+    </example>
+will rewrite a cookie with backend path <code>/</code> (or
+<code>/example</code> or, in fact, anything) to <code>/mirror/foo/</code>.
