Browsers also support partially setting each of the url fields separately, although error handling between all of them is very inconsistent. Note: if you specify this behavior, then you need to specify what happens for http:, https:, data:, mailto: and unknown:
If you specify the setters then you also need to specify how this affects the value of the "href" attribute in the DOM. For example, in Gecko if you have an <a href="foo#bar"> which has base URI "http://example.com/"; and you set anchor.hash on that anchor to "baz", then the attribute value is changed to "http://example.com/foo#baz";. I can't speak to what happens in other browsers.
