What I do note is that a transparent background image (whitish) that 
zooms across the ul#navigation is rendered above the border of the 
element. I can't explain why but I like the affect.


Even though this is CSS3 driven, I would really like to use an inner span.

One reason is to allow :focus for keyboard users.

Another reason is that currently all the background and border effects 
are on the li. This leaves me without individual parents (just one 
common parent being the ul). More could be achieved by moving the 
major style on the li to the a and the style on a to the inner 
span. Then I can style the parent li with greater effect.

Thanks for the link, but how about including a live demo to click on instead

I suspect a lot of readers in here have multiple browsers installed and would 
be interested in seeing the results live as it were, rather than having to 
copy and paste your code into an example file to see what happens.

I'm not sure if CSS animations or transforms will ever be viable unless 
and until browser rendering engines are re-written from the ground up to 
support them smoothly. Some folks might not care that a design looks 
rough around the edges, but it would never pass muster with a good 
designer. We've been playing around with CSS3 effects, but not 
transitions/transformations. Here's a quick example:

   It's so slow in Opera that I wouldn't even see the effect if I were

Hmm, it wasn't that slow over here. It transistioned pretty smoothly.

They are purposely slow for demonstration.

support them smoothly.



Transforms can be smooth. Anyway rendering engines may need to be 
re-written grounds up to support CSS2.1 correctly. This may in turn 
cause the CSS 2.1 specs to be rewritten or more likely fixed up in as 
CSS3 or CSS4.




Some folks might not care that a design looks
rough around the edges, but it would never pass muster with a good
designer.



As our list Chaperon says.

*CSS is much too interesting and elegant to be not taken seriously*



We've been playing around with CSS3 effects, but not
transitions/transformations. Here's a quick example:

http://www.projectseven.com/peeks/tpm2/demos/

And another:
http://www.projectseven.com/peeks/tpm2/demos/page5.htm



It took me a while to find what was transformed. These specs may be in 
draft form by when implemented, will revolutionize CSS.
