Using the hash allows for all the content to exist within a single resource -- in this case, a single HTML page using jQuery to hide/show content based on the fragment identifier. What you want can't really be achieved without something on the server-side (rewrite rules with Apache, routes with Rails) and it outside the scope of what this plugin is trying to do.

That's true, but the rewrite rule could be very simple. Have all pages of the form http://site.example/* serve up the entry page (which then uses JS to parse the URI and load the appropriate page content), and special case http://site.example/pages-directory/* or something to serve the content for specific pages.
