Thanks - I had actually heard this one before but it wasn't on my list. I'll add it. I'm still having a hard time being persuaded by this - i.e. the inconvenience of poor misspelling detection outweighing the inconvenience of the 303 redirect. I don't deny that this is real, but I still feel I'm being asked to accept the seriousness of the problem on faith.. (Again, this could be mitigated in Javascript, if it were a serious issue.) Is this really the reason that so many people have decided against hash? Surely I'm missing something else... Jonathan
