@Syrion I mostly agree with you,

Like I said I can see a utility for animation on hover effect. You can already move let’s say a left property with :hover, but this could add a nice transition without the need of javascript

I’d put 10 bucks on it having to do with Safari for the iPhone/iPod touch.
