If [...] Brett's "mouseover" scenario comes to pass, the implications and impact will be huge.

I agree. The more I think of this, the more I think that the "test" we have been seeing (and it's effect) were indeed an unintended glitch. They (Google) probably did not want to drop their pants and allow webmasters a glimpse at what lies ahead.

Busy times for those defending Google.
