	##<iron-location>
The iron-location element manages binding to and from the current URL.
iron-location is the first, and lowest level element in the Polymer team's routing system. This is a beta release of iron-location as we continue work on higher level elements, and as such iron-location may undergo breaking changes.
Properties
When the URL is: /search?query=583#details iron-location's properties will be:
- path: 
'/search' - query: 
'query=583' - hash: 
'details' 
These bindings are bidirectional. Modifying them will in turn modify the URL.
iron-location is only active while it is attached to the document.
Links
While iron-location is active in the document it will intercept clicks on links within your site, updating the URL pushing the updated URL out through the databinding system. iron-location only intercepts clicks with the intent to open in the same window, so middle mouse clicks and ctrl/cmd clicks work fine.
You can customize this behavior with the urlSpaceRegex.
Dwell Time
iron-location protects against accidental history spamming by only adding
entries to the user's history if the URL stays unchanged for dwellTime
milliseconds.
