Quite often I'll move the mouse pointer out of the way of what I'm reading. So my mouse pointer will be "hovering", but not over anything I'm interested in at all.
Lots of people, you’d be surprised. ;) Sometimes I catch myself unconsciously highlighting what I’m reading.
But the mouse tracking is for detecting waffling potential button clicks and form fills too.
It’s a bad proxy for attention, but it is a proxy that kinda works.
