   Would raising HTTPError(responsecode.NOT_FOUND) be more appropriate

   I know I haven't defined provisionChild() very well yet, but my
thinking it that it's not really supposed to be called unless we know the
child should exist; the caller should expect it to always work.

   Raising should give us a better error result if not handled, where
returning None might cause some other (more obscure) error down the line.

   I don't know what the error trace looked like, so I might be wrong.

I'm not sure a raise at the point is the right thing to do. In the specific case I was trying to deal with, provisionChild is called by locateChild as part of the attempt to get the resource for the URI. The "normal" behavior of locateChild when it does not find a child is to return None. So I just had provisionChild do the same. We could have provisionChild raise, but then we ought to catch that in locateChild and not pass it on - just return None which is the expected behavior there.
