+      Web applications often provide linkable, bookmarkable, shareable URLs for
+      imporant locations in the app. Until recently, hash fragments 
+      (<tt>#page</tt>) were used to provide these permalinks, but with the 
+      arrival of the History API, it's now possible to use standard URLs (<tt>/page</tt>).
+      <b>Backbone.Router</b> provides methods for routing client-side pages, and
+      connecting them to actions and events. For browsers which don't yet support
+      the History API, the Router handles graceful fallback and transparent 
+      translation to the fragment version of the URL.
