Interesting question.

So, what does a spider do? Crawling websides and storing information 
about them into an quickly searchable database.

The point is, that the information of a typo3 website already is in such 
a database. So probably nobody came to the idea of storing them a second 
time into the same database.

But as that special point, where you have a really dynamic plugin output 
but with some special static parts in it, spidering could make sense.

Example?

Your extension outputs realtime prices of shares. You have to use 
USER_INT because the prices change dynamically. But it could be 
interesting to have the names of the shares searchable indexed. It 
wouldn't matter to much if that spider has indexed an older price, when 
he came to visit the page, if the indexed name leads to the actual page.

The easier solution is to build the browselist with one plugin as USER, 
where the entries point to a second plugin, on the same or a second 
side, that contains USER_INT to output the details.
