And you would have to, to allow bookmarking. But this breaks the semantics of linking, whereby the hash corresponds to a place within the page (which AJAX applications sometimes use to reconstruct some sort of state). What you are suggesting is putting this AJAX pattern in the browser, in a specific format. I'm not keen on solving this problem by changing the way linking works; that was the beauty of the original proposal (other problems notwithstanding). This seems like a fancy way to bookmark frames... Nelson Menezes http://fittopage.org
