Its a work around used by web apps...

A type of bookmark used because the application doesnt use the hash yet 
to store
the current location inside the page you are viewing... the way normal 
web pages
do.

I think there is a new feature request to have OpenLayers tarck location 
via a hash
update. but it is trickier than it sounds.
