           Summary: pushState doesn't the change URL in the address bar
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Page Loading
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: jonas.beck at svt.se


This is maybe not a bug, but the specs indicates that the documents URL should
change when pushState is called and it seems strange to not reflect this in the
UI as well.

"The document's address is an absolute URL  that is set when the Document is
created. The document's current address is an absolute URL  that can change
during the lifetime of the Document, for example when the user navigates to a
fragment identifier on the page or when the pushState() method is called with a
new URL." http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#documents

Both Minefield and Chromium change the URL in the address bar when pushState is
used. 

A important use case for this feature would be if content is loaded with ajax
and the user would like to use the URL in the address for tipping about this
specific content.
