Not at all -- hash-based URLs for Ajax applications are critical. They're just not something that you want to structure your entire application around, and Sammy is a framework that uses faux-URLs as the central abstraction. All I'm saying is that you don't need to ape the server-side paradigm (one URL, one page) quite so closely. Use a module that gives you URL setting and tracking with "onhashchange", by all means, but you don't have to shoehorn your application into it.
