Comment (by scribu):

 There are two sets of rules: .htaccess rules and WP_Rewrite rules.

 The .htaccess rules merely direct all non-file requests to index.php.

 The WP_Rewrite rules are built internally by WP and are used to figure out
 what to display: a list of posts, a single page etc.

 See Otto's article on WP_Rewrite: http://ottopress.com/2010/category-in-
