Hi Cliff

It does make perfect sense to improve on the standard response...and lets
not blame the server here, the 404 is simply a generic error response. Many
developers overlook these and many clients don't know to ask for one so they
fall through the cracks.

I'd recommend reading "The Perfect 404" by Ian Lloyd over on AListApart. [
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/perfect404]. How complex you get depends
on the website you manage but this covers everything from the basics though
to some advanced techniques.
