I actually loved this part of the page being discussed. The whole idea of versioning content based on who accesses it is broken and fundamentally at odds with the idea of the open web. Same goes for user-agent string madness, by the way. Yes, we should be able to tell robots from humans, but otherwise, it's supposed to be the Web. Incidentally, this hits close to a pain point: I find it extremely annoying when publishers (like Elsevier) hide content behind a paywall, but still expose it to Googlebot for indexing. The result is that you are able to find a scientific article, which is not accessible (but Googlebot has cached snippets). This goes against Google's own guidelines (they used to tell people that Googlebot must not see different content from browsers). And it goes against the whole idea of the Web: if you want to hide stuff behind a paywall, do so — but then it is no longer accessible. Going back to Applebot, I love the fact that they will now follow Googlebot instructions. Hopefully people will stop distinguishing who accesses content.
