I like the idea. Not sure whether the properties are all a good idea
(especially I have a problem with animate-motion ), but I haven't
really thought about it.
I would also like to have a delay option, something like animate-delay: 2s;

I believe you want it to begin when you hover over a link. I think you
would also need to have a animate-state: hover; property or something
like that (or put the animation properties in the :hover state).

Btw, there is in css3 also various marquee properties to make
scrolling text (which is also a way to animate things):

But I don't think I like that very much.
