I've been playing around with this idea for a while, and given this week's context, I figured I might as well throw it out there. My main questions for HN are: (a) is this a good idea, (b) do you see any big pitfalls I'm overlooking, and (c) how might we get this to happen?

Can you compare this against the HTML5 pushState API?

All pushState does, AFAIK, is add things to your browsing history; it alone doesn't affect the content you receive. It does, however, make it possible (for recent browsers with JS enabled) to use the back button to navigate through AJAX-ed sites.
