[wp-hackers] Ignore Portions of URI

[Alan Castonguay]

#hash urls are useful for linking to a particular place in a list. For  
example, they can lend themselves to a really nice way of making  
javascript-based paged-comments. All the comments could be in the same  
long document (no repeating an article N times), but rolled up into  
"pages" by javascript, bookmarked by #pagenumber or #commentnumber.
