-      <p>We rewrite the name to its basename and test for
-      existence of the new extension. If it exists, we take
-      that name, else we rewrite the URL to its original state.</p>
+      <p>The URL is rewritten from the old extension to the new
+      one only if the target file with the new extension exists
+      and the original file with the old extension does not.
+      Otherwise, the URL is left unchanged.</p>
