Apache headers

Was anyone else aware that some HTTP headers can't be rewritten under Apache? The Server: header in particular can't be overridden.

I've been trying to find documentation on this everywhere, but the only place I was able to find it was on the errata page for Apache Unleashed:
http://apacheunleashed.com/errata.html

I've been trying to send header("Server: server name") to change the value of the Server header, but it won't let me. I was about to report this as a PHP bug, but then I found that page on apacheunleashed.com.
