Yep, including HTML is the safe way to go. In some instances we replace our javascript functionality intended for users (because of the added cool functionality) with HTML rendered by Ruby just for search engines.Another option is to use NOSCRIPT tags to display some lesser version of the content but still valuable to search engines. We do this for the fallback code for our widgets.
