Navigations that have "real" links that can be followed by a search
engine spider are indexable. Non-indexable navigations either need
JavaScript for the links or Flash or Java.

Another stopper can be if your links are overly complicated like
index.php?section=1&content=23&style=5.

This means that bad usability/accessibility practises also get
punished by search engines, which is something wonderful.
