I still can't help but wonder if a simple solution isn't just staring us 
in the face:

Why not use the bot detection code of Janus, but then just not let the 
session expire for the session(s) where a bot was detected?  And 
otherwise forget static page caches and all these other assorted 
"dual-faced" schemes.

I've seen the Google-bot follow the strange Seaside links, and even 
index them.  What it doesn't seem to like, though, is that on it's next 
visit, the old links no longer work.  So, if the session(s) that the 
bots used never expired, wouldn't that solve the problem?
