+<p><code>SSLRequire</code> is deprecated and should in general be replaced
+by <a href="mod/mod_authz_core.html#reqexpr">Require expr</a>. The so called
+<a href="../expr.html">ap_expr</a> syntax of <code>Require expr</code> is
+a superset of the syntax of <code>SSLRequire</code>, with the following
+exception:</p>
+
+<p>In <code>SSLRequire</code>, the comparison operators <code>&lt;</code>,
+<code>&lt;=</code>, ...  completely equivalent to the operators
+<code>lt</code>, <code>le</code>, ... and work in a somewhat pecular way that
+first compares the length of two strings and then the lexical order.
+On the other hand, <a href="../expr.html">ap_expr</a> has two sets of
+comparison operators: The operators <code>&lt;</code>,
+<code>&lt;=</code>, ... do lexical string comparison, while the operators
+<code>-lt</code>, <code>-le</code>, ... do integer comparison.
+For the latter, there are also aliases without the leading dashes:
+<code>lt</code>, <code>le</code>, ...
