There is nothing "technically" incorrect in e.g. <a href="myapp.com/#/account/15?sortBy=date">15</a>
All the SPA I have seen had URLs like this, because this is just the browser who cares about that part of the location. This is why, when creating e.g.: <a href="/#/account/16?sortBy=date">next</a> there is no need to hack browser to stop it from page reload as this is all about going somewhere else on the same "Page", the "P" in SPA. All I wrote in Elm was a small app with two forms and I did not have to parse location, but in AngularJS the location services (or similar plugins) have no troubles parsing and destructuring the page fragment part. Looking at https://github.com/evancz/url-parser it seems that this library is covering only very basic parsing capabilities, there should be more complete libs in the public package repository though.
