Here's the code:
def url_for( *args )
    opts = Hash === args.last ? args.pop : {}
    obj = args.first

    anchor = opts.delete(:anchor)
    escape = opts.has_key?(:escape) ? opts.delte(:escape) : true

    url = Webby::Resource === obj ? obj.url : obj.to_s
    url = escape_once(url) if escape
    url << "#" << anchor if anchor

    url = url[1..-1] if url.length > 1
    return url
  end

.. I just added the third-last line. Perhaps better would be to change
obj.url for each object.
