A number of people requested it, and since it doesn't make much
difference to me either way, I complied. The argument is that users
(both real live ones and search engine spiders) will have an easier
time understanding which parts of the URL to ignore when bookmarking,
crawling, etc.

Yes, this happens. #updateUrl: is sent to every visible component, and
they can do whatever they like to the URL object. Named anchors is an
interesting use of this that I hadn't thought of - WAUrl doesn't know
about them yet, but I'll add that ASAP. And thanks, because I've been
wondering how to best do named anchors for a long time, and that's a
reasonable solution.
