I expect this is good in almost all practical cases.

Just for the record, there are possible cases where the above 
substitution will change the meaning of the configuration.  This happens 
when both the old and new-style settings were mixed together in the same 
configuration.  Example:

DENY_WRITE = bad1.com
HOSTDENY_WRITE = bad2.com

This policy denies access to both bad1.com and bad2.com.

After substitution:

DENY_WRITE = bad1.com
DENY_WRITE = bad2.com

This policy denies only bad2.com.
