Therefore, why should the search engines give preference to content that is hard to verify over more relevant and verifiable static html content? Embedded xml or external text files will not solve this issue as it will always be harder to verify textual content within rich media. At the end of the day it is just a movie or graphic and should be indexed as such.

Actually SL SEO is even worse then Flash since the later is being parse by search engines to some extent. http://blog.guya.net/2006/03/16/can-you-make-me-first-in-google/ For example, if you'll search <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=nokia+N95">nokia N95</a> in google, you'll get this 100% Flash website first out of 4,440,000: http://www.nseries.com/ It's a beautiful website, btw.
