It was added in order to show in the tutorial best practices: url reversal by name rather than hard-coding url paths in the template. However, it uses the {% url %} tag syntax that is correct for the upcoming Django release, 1.5. In order for that syntax (specifically, the quotes around polls.views.vote) to work in the 1.4 released version, the template would also have to include {% import url from future %}. This "from future" import is not necessary in the current development level of code, so was not included when this change to demonstrate how to use {% url %} was added to the tutorial development level. However it seems that many many many people are running through the development-level doc with the 1.4- released level code, so perhaps we should add a note here (or more prominently elsewhere) to please be sure you run through the online version of the tutorial that matches the level of code you are running.
