 	Yes, I agree.

 	I did look through previous versions, and I saw that it looked 
like we always returned a 200 instead of a 404 on missing/invalid pages.

 	Oh, that's better than my solution, I was trying to modify the 
error view, but since it is used in different places, ie. not 404 
conditions, I got stuck.
 	So, why shouldn't this be added to the core code?  It seems like 
this is the right behavior to me, ie. return a 404 when a page can't be 
found?
