Not just uploaded images, but images, flash, css etc that are part of
the site design too.

To me, the framework seemed to encourage delivery of flat media
(images, css, js, anything flat) via a separate path, even separate
server. In my experience, maintaining a separate tree, and an easily
changeable setting pointing to it, is a very good practice to
encourage. I like it. Thats why TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_CONSTANTS seems
sensible to me. It's very useful for things like Google Maps API keys,
copyright entities, html-head suffixes, all sorts of things. Without
having to resort people, new users especially, to using
context_processors and RequestContext.
