Comment:

 Hi Roy, thanks for the report.

 A small, "matching HttpRequest.path_info" clause in the URL Dispatcher
 docs seems reasonable, yes.
 I'll accept on that basis. Are you up for doing a PR?

 I'm not convinced by the other two cases.

 * The debug 404 page has both full URL and the path that attempted to
 match in plain site. It's not often they are different but, I would expect
 the difference there to be noticed, and for folks to know enough about
 their app to work out what's they're missing.
 * `STATIC_URL` is the URL prefix for your static files. When there's a web
 server in play you need to configure it to serve the files in
 `STATIC_ROOT` from that URL — As I read it the sentence you quote it seems
 correct: the URL prefix should match `STATIC_URL`

 "It's not often that they're different..." — You have some ''mount point''
 going on, what is that, if you don't mind me asking? Is this a local
 development server? Which one? Thanks
