Does that mean if a new document arises from evaluating the JavaScript
URL that you'll scroll the page to the indicated fragment?  In the
resulting document, will location.hash contain the part after the # ?
What will assigning to location.hash do (e.g., re-evaluating the
JavaScript URL or just scroll the page)?
