I won't. The same arguments could be made about the marquee properties, though, or even the :hover selector itself. A gif is a file, and this is presentational. Which state are you presenting the animation to the end user in? Playing or paused? Are you presenting it from the beginning, or in whatever state it happens to be in? The "behavior" is merely an artifact of the :hover selector itself, and not a bizarre use of it. It might blur the line a bit, but it doesn't cross it any further than has been by other CSS rules/properties in the past. But most importantly of all, it would be very useful. It would reduce or eliminate the need for proprietary techniques. John O.
