Whoops and hashbangs

So, yes, yes; URLs are used as a key for locating documents and resources across the web. That is all well and good. But I’m thinking; what happens when the web hosts things other than documents and resources? Like applications? Like games? Like physical objects? What happens when we need to serve humans based on other signals, such as their location, the time of day, their context, their intent?

Reflections on a distinction between web resources requiring URL's and mere application states.
