16079	Clarify that handler404 and handler500 only applies to project	Martin Vilcans <martin@…>	nobody	"The documentation states that you can define handler404 and handler500 in your URLconf, but it doesn't say that this only works in the project-level URLconf, not inside an app.

I think it should be mentioned in these sections:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/urls/#handler404

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial03/#write-a-404-page-not-found-view

There are several questions about this at Stack Overflow (for example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3309076/is-it-possible-to-include-a-custom-404-view-for-a-django-app-without-changing-any), so if the documentation could just say that it's impossible, it would save time for a lot of people."
