(Er, and sorry I just realised I posted __some__ of this as part of a 
question on the list last week, but the question I have is now posed 
more concretely and wasn't answered then)!

SRV.11.2 Specification of Mappings
In the web application deployment descriptor, the following syntax is used
to define mappings:
* A string beginning with a '/' character and ending with a '/*' postfix is
used for path mapping.
* A string beginning with a '*.' prefix is used as an extension mapping.
* A string containing only the '/' character indicates the "default" servlet
of the application. In this case the servlet path is the request URI minus
the context pth and the path info is null.
* All other strings are used for exact matches only.
