  It demonstrates that you can use the address bar for animation. I imagine there might be a scenario where you'd want to try this for a progress bar or some other kind of status indicator.

    I imagine there might be a scenario where you'd want to try this for a progress bar or some other kind of status indicator. That used to be what the status bar was for, until scripts started modifying it to hide link destinations (onclick= etc.) so that ability was disabled for "security reasons". Now the status bar is gone completely from most browsers by default, but onclick= can still be used to obfuscate link destinations. Also, status bar scrollers were rather common on the "old web"; they won't be missed, and I hope address bar scrollers don't start being the next "cool thing". It's a fun demo-effect, just not something I'd like to see all the time.
