Very nice, but I don't think this improves UX at all. How does having an animation for something help the user understand what's going on? They know something is scrolling because they see the data changing -- a flip / slide / other animation is not necessary.

In fact I think it interferes with UX because it's harder to quickly read the list -- you need to wait for the animation before reading the text. The only exception to this is Skew (because the item text is always visible), but even that is harder to read than just a normal list without the animation.

Very impressive demonstration of CSS3, but just because you can doesn't mean you should.
