In those cases, cloaking can go a long way to protecting your proprietary work.

How does cloaking protect your proprietary work? You are showing the user the work when they view it, you are showing the search engines the work when they spider it.

Do you mean you are cloaking to protect your site from screen scrapers, that sort of thing? Or are you talking about something different, like showing different links and keyword content to the spiders than what you show to the user?
