[nycphp-talk] Deep Linking with AJAX?

I have a designer who would like to have links on the subnav to NOT
refresh the page. This could be done with iFrames, but best if done
with a DIV using AJAX.
However, from a usability perspective, I am concerned that the URL
displayed on the Location string is not the page they are looking at
after they have loaded an AJAX page. If the user does a copy/paste
into an email to send to somebody, they will not arrive at the
intended page.
I have looked at Christian Cantrell's article <http://
weblogs.macromedia.com/cantrell/archives/2005/06/deep_linking_in.cfm>
on the topic (though that's over a year old now) and the work-arounds
were less than convincing.
Does anybody know of a better technique to do this or is the
consensus that if I want the URL to reflect the actual page I am
viewing, it should be the old fashion way with page refreshes?
Thanks!
