Problem

You want the-user interface to be rich and graphical, but you need plain text in order to support standard web functionality such as cut-and-paste and inspection by search engine robots.

Solution

Integrate text into graphics, and rely on RichCSS to show text when fancy styling is desirable.

The address balloon in Google Maps.
