Comment:

 As to 403 vs 404, as Carl said, "There's no reason they should even be
 able to tell whether that page exists."

 I would expect a user to reach such a page only by typing in a URL
 manually, therefore there's not really a need to be able to recover
 gracefully from it. Of course, you can use a custom `handler404` to
 customize that page if you like.
