--- Comment #3 from Rich Bowen <[email protected]> ---
On further review, the documentation is correct here. It's not an
inconsistency, rather, it's describing the fact that mod_rewrite behaves
differently in different contexts.

I gave some thought to calling this "The input path" or similar. The
difficulty, as described by the flowchart diagram in the
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/tech.html document, is that there
is not one "input path". Rather, there is a string that can be updated multiple
times (or once, or not at all) as it passes through multiple rewriting phases,
or multiple rules. There's just whatever state it's in at any given moment. I
worry that calling it "input path" suggests that it's a single value, rather
than one point in a process.

The original URL-path becomes a modified URL path (or, sometimes it doesn't) as
it flows through the process. See
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/rewrite/tech.html#InternalRuleset for the
diagram referenced. The only fixed point is "The Request" (ie, the original
URL-path) and after that it's all in flux.

I am inclined to close this as WONTFIX because the doc is correct. Willing to
reconsider if someone has specific rephrasings.

Meanwhile, I'm conintuing to go through the entire /rewrite section of the doc
looking for possible improvements.
