To me the "correct" behavior is that if no activation context is
matched a 404 error should be sent to the client. That's the current
and actual behavior every web server out there produce in the case of
a request to a resource not available.

So I'm prone with the Igor idea and definitely would extend it to a
default: If no activation context is matched a 404 error is thrown to
the client, if a developer need to deal with various heterogeneous
situation he could use EventContext or put a lot of different handler
methods...

Please don't add knowledge where not necessary.
