    httphandlers :
    The httpHandlers element is used on sites running on IIS 5 – 6, or IIS 7.x in Classic mode (IIS 6 compatibility mode).

    handlers :
    The handlers element is used on sites running on IIS 7.x (Integrated mode).

    You can have both in a Web.config, which would make sense if you develop against one version of IIS and deploy to another.
