With Navigation Framework, Silverlight becomes better suited for content pages. The next big thing would be to make it crawlable. I think one of the approaches could be abstracting the content in a database and using it within a Silverlight page for humans or returning a plain HTML for crawlers. Did anybody try to make their Silverlight pages crawlable?

A: 

I think making Silverlight crawlable is like trying to make a Flash page crawlable. You need HTML for the crawler to see. I'm sure that it's possible, but it would require quite a bit of work to implement.

It is however not a bad idea for SEO purposes. As search engines don't like Silverlight or Flash.
