Many SWFs on the web today aren't used as content, but compiled application code. Does Google need to index Jar files, or Firefox Add-Ons, or a JavaScript library? No. The same goes for a Flash/Flex application. I think this this issue that the SproutCore folks bring up is important: There is a big difference between websites and webapps: http://www.sproutcore.com/2008/06/30/web-apps-vs-web-sites/ Indexing SWFs means nothing if it’s not “content” to begin with.

Firefox 3.1 will be landing many good-for-the-web features based on Specifications. What would you like to see "invested" into XULRunner, seriously. Lots of people (even inside Mozilla) are working hard to make XULRunner a first class desktop runtime. So your feedback is welcome. @AndyEd - The “RIA” plan for Mozilla is making the Web stronger, not just our renderer.

The flash developer community has built some strong support for deep linking - SWFAddress. Adobe took the hint and added it to AS3 Flex. But will those destinations be readable using Adobe's new decompiler (or whatever the limited distro SDK is)? If it's readable, will Google and Yahoo actually take advantage of the opportunity? Aiy, I wish there was a stronger story for RIA's in Mozilla. It's challenging that the very mechanism of success of Adobe and MSFT in this space (proprietary & closed) is blocking the Mozilla foundation's success in the RIA arena. The platform has all the tech it needs to whoop the heck out of AIR and Silverlight, but the mission of embracing the open web seems to result in Mozilla not advocating RIA development, or investing in key places (e.g. XUL Runner) I called this out in Batelle’s blog and got responses from Adobe’s Ryan Stewart, et al.
