You spend some time talking about the hash hack and then mention everyone using hashbang #! urls - but you specifically say that search engines won't work with them. You completely skip over the reason for the hashbang style taking over which is that google *can* crawl those urls if you properly set up support on your server for them. A simple google of "hashbang google" will point you to information on it such as this.
I understand why you'd want to gloss over this a little and emphasize the html5 alternative, but considering it isn't even implemented in the latest IE or safari (including iOS), you should maybe point out that its a viable intermediary solution.

Alright, sorry, I posted that before you got to the end where you sort of mention it. My bad.
