Routing will be data-and-template based. Routes will fetch data then render a template. Unlike Ember, any number of data sources can be fetched for each route (like the UI-Router)
Nested routes will look for places to be inserted within parent route templates (as in both UI-Router and Ember)
Routing will be state-based and optionally URL-based, not URL-based. This means that applications that don't encode their state in a URL bar will still be able to use the router.
Templated routing will be done via a link-to Handlebars helper.
Programmatic routing will be done by name. routeTo('myNamedRoute', myRouteParams);
Some plans for routing.
