Innovative maybe?
No, it is not standard, but actually not original. Take for example LyX which
enables one to repeat the last font change. Think of mouse gestures. Combine
the two ideas.
The whole idea of good anotating software is that it can make anotating as
effortless as it is to do on paper. Even having a simple short cut to repeat
the last command would be helpful. Command-alt-m and Command-shift-m are so
awkward!
I disagree that is something for the OS - the middle mouse button has too many
uses in different programs. Take for example panning up and down in firefox
with a middle mouse click (I tend to turn off this feature). That I am quite
sure is controlled by firefox, not the OS.
Of course anyone who uses a traditional apple mouse would not find it very
helpful, but such a person obviously is in support of the mac approach of
putting style and user-friendliness before functionality.
I can live with Skim as it is. I used to use Jarnal which is more fiddly. If
however I need to fill in a pdf form I think I'd have to return to Jarnal.

keeps your left hand free for coffee drinking
I'd say that would me more a function for the OS than an individual program. I
wouldn't even know how to do that. And generally it is a bad idea to do
non-standard things, and this is extremely non-standard behavior.

I'm new to Skim, but already love it.
One feature I think would be very helpful:
To push last called macro/function on a middle mouse click.
eg. If you are going through a document highlighting text, on the first
occurrence you would select the text to be highlighted and then highlight the
text with either clicking the highlight button or using the short cut.
After this if you want to highlight some text simply select it and then
click the middle mouse button.
This would make repetitive jobs like highlighting a breeze! - With left hand
taken up by your mug of coffee your right hand does not have to dart back and
forth from the tool bar to the text - spilling your precious coffee.
