I agree with Anne's suggestion.

I would also suggest calling it something other than hashchange. I  
realize the term "hash" is used in other places in the HTML DOM to  
refer to the fragment ID but it sounds weird in an event name like  
that. CSS uses "target" and the URI RFC uses "fragment identifier".
