When I look at an infographic, I don't want pieces of it hidden. I want it to tell me the story. I don't want it to be headlines of a story, and have to interact to get the whole thing.

While I don't doubt there's some call for that, I can't see that being desirable in most use cases.

100% agree.

A bunch of CSS3 animations whizzing around the page is the last thing we need. (Though it's likely to happen as people go crazy with new capabilities).

But with a bit of constraint these can be used to add value, simply the difference between good and bad design.

Simple HTML markup with a bit of CSS position would be a huge step up from flat jpegs, particularly as far as type is concerned.
