Depending on what we do with the animation, it might not be different, or it might involve one less call into page JS. But yes, maybe all jQuery needs here is a way to cancel outstanding animate() requests. I really suggest that this group get in touch with the jQuery developers and talk to the about what they need out of this API. -Boris
