I hear yeah. The naming scheme for hashes could get tricky for a whole site
like yours.

If you ever did resolve it you could have a hook in your back end that looks
at the url and takes the anchor and redirects it to the correct page. Using
a method like this on the back end would allow the hash based bookmarks to
work for javascript and non javascript browsers.

Again nice job.
