I'm not quite sure I understanmd what you're proposing. If you
have a single document... say the Boeing 747 manuals, and
provide a means to (at runtime) convert that into pages, TOC's
etc. and have all that done using a number of possible stylesheets,
it's basically impossible to generate all the links for a robot
to consume. It get's worse when you take the browser into
account, or user preferences.
About the best you can do is provide a link to your *own*
fulltext search engine *or* dump the vocabulary list to the
crawler, with a URL pointing to the root (or perhaps root
with query applied).
My guess is you were proposing the latter?
