In October 2009, Google proposed a new standard for AJAX web sites that would help search engines crawl and index the content.
Now it seems this may already be (partially) live?
But it's still not clear why each web site must have its own "headless browser", instead of Google's crawler just having it's own headless browser.

Seems support for crawling AJAX apps is now officially live - see http://code.google.com/web/ajaxcrawling/
Unfortunately it requires considerable work on the web developer's part to make an AJAX site Google-compliant. :-(
Is Googlebot a lot smarter than Google let on? Interesting article:

though it doesn't explain exactly why the very smart people at Google STILL haven't been able to properly implement crawling of AJAX sites.
