ROOT_URLCONF Setting in settings.py Unclear

Description

Part 3 of the Django tutorial refers to ROOT_URLCONF = 'mysite.urls' in settings.py, then goes on to discuss editing of mysite/urls.py, and states that "Django will load this Python module, because it is pointed to by the ROOT_URLCONF setting.".

Documentation is obscure, as ROOT_URLCONF setting does not point to an existing Python module. Should ROOT_URLCONF be changed?

Since advised that mysite.urls is a namespaces import path. Documenting this, or pointing to where this is documented, will assist new users.

Did you encounter a problem or was this just confusing? Could you suggest what text should be added? I'm not entirely clear what the confusion is.
