Ok, I think I figured out what you mean.

Fixed the contradictory file-system path vs URL-path descriptions
in the RewriteRule substitution documentation.

The filesystem-existence guessing (prefix_stat) only occurs in server
or virtual host context — verified against mod_rewrite.c source.
In per-directory context, RewriteBase or the directory prefix governs
path handling; no filesystem probing is done.

Changes:
- file-system path bullet: explicitly states this only applies in
  server/virtualhost context, and that per-directory context does
  not perform this guessing
- URL-path bullet: removed incorrect parenthetical about per-directory
  behavior; kept the /www example but scoped to server/virtualhost
  context only

Patched in r1933713 (trunk), r1933714 (2.4).
