That would be a fairly bad idea. Javascript execution, and in particular AJAX calls, frequently change data. I wouldn't want my crawler to delete or edit somehow lots of data if I where Google.

I'm trying to find the article posted on TDWTF regarding a link that went to "&delete=true" that dropped the entire database...but, Ajax calls are no more or less frequently data-changing than any one of a hundred links on survey sites that send their data with GET variables.
