John,

If your main concern is SEO, then the second approach described here 
(http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Silverlight-SEO.aspx ) should work 
nicely. It basically involves using XSLT to extract the content from XAML and 
display it as SEO friendly mark up for search engines. I'm sure that you could 
use a similar approach for browsers that did not have the SL plug-in installed, 
but I'm also sure that will take a bit more work to make it a reality. You'll 
probably also find this interesting. http://xmldocs.net/seo/

Hope that help!

Subject: Example site that renders HTML where Silverlight isn't possible?

Anyway know of a website rendering multiple pages of content that provides a 
W3C compliant HTML version when the device can't use Silverlight?

I have a client wanting to publish a book using a nice Silverlight interface 
but still want the content available for SearchBots and those not wanting or 
unable to install the runtime.
The concept we proposed is to publish two versions, use # tags for navigation 
in Silverlight, detect if not supported and redirect to HTML version following 
similar URL structure with links to view/install Silverlight.

The concept is simple enough, no matter what link people bookmark others will 
get to the same content, the user must choose to use the richer interface if 
they end up on the HTML version. Is there a better way?

Thanks,
John.
