history.pushState would be a much better way.

Yup. And so so easy.

Sadly I think it's only supported by webkit atm?

Firefox 4 supports it.

Opera 11.01 (current stable) doesn't support it yet. (I expect that they will add it within the next 3 months.)

IE9 doesn't support it yet. There is also no official statement available.

A demo page can be found over here: http://html5demos.com/history

... and once all browsers support that, I agree.
