Knowing that, wouldn't a site that simply queries the Armory for necessary data (e.g., character-sheet.xml) and then feeds the information back to the user in a proper fashion (for example, using CSS/AJAX instead of XSLT/SJAX) fix a large part of the issue with the Armory being slow/unresponsive and its tendency to crash browsers?

I think that crawlers are a very small part of the load when compared to normal users. In addition, the Armory (Blizzard operated servers) are probably going to be much better suited to handle the load (even without all the crawlers) than any of us.
