No it shouldn't. I was never really happy that holy word did AT_PHYSICAL, 
but it was the last spell on a Saturday afternoon and it pretty much did
what I wanted so the hack remained (ohhh the legacy of hacks 8-)

That's probably the best way to handle it. It is probably easiest to AND
AT_PHYSICAL onto type in the bit of code that handles AT_TURN_UNDEAD. 
hit_player() needs to be rewritten anyway. It is waaaaaay to long at 430 lines
and should probably be split into separate functions for each attack type
with another for calculating experience.
