Interesting documentation feature: updating URL field

[Jonathan Hung]

Hi Simon and Anastasia.

I came across this site in doing EPUB 3 research.
http://chimera.labs.oreilly.com/books/1234000000770/ch03.html

If you visit the site and scroll up or down the page, the browser's address
field will update according to the anchors within the document.

I have to say that this functionality is very handy for bookmarking or
sharing links. It also saves having to hunt down a link or a permalink to
bookmark a specific location on a page.

I don't know exactly how this is done - I assume it's some form of arcane
magic, or at least some Javascript.

Do you think something like this would be useful for Infusion
documentation? I don't know how much of the content will benefit from this
functionality.

- Jon.
