While agreeing with Kynn, I would add that the user agent (or software
operating in conjunction with it) is in an excellent position to block
these effects if the user so wishes. That is, if one wants to take
steps to prevent certain effects that might be distracting, one is
entirely free to do so (it is merely a case of overriding the author's
presentation).
