Not true - javascript not needed. It could be done with pure CSS

Would this mean that the page would have to have all the content
loaded before you even hover? That could increase loading times (not
to mention bandwidth in addition to CPU usage for looking everything
up) tremendously even for those who don't want to use this (e.g. I
would find it too annoying).
Sounds like a bad idea to me. If I want to follow one of the links
I'll do so, and I'll open it in a background tab so it doesn't
interrupt my reading like tooltips would.
