I shouldn't need to worry that my hash keys are suddenly going to gain second meanings. What if the page uses a different format for the hash? I use "#foo/bar?a=b&c=d" (giving me a path segment within the hash, which is extremely useful). What if the video element doesn't exist on page load, because it's created by dynamically by a script? You can't simply apply the time to every video, since the page might be going through a playlist and you surely don't want "t=30" to cause every song or video in the playlist to start at 30s. -- Glenn Maynard
