Nice concept -- but -- all it takes is for a spammer to start harvesting based on the "\40" string and stream substitute it for the "@" into their DB.
Given the incompatibility with IE, the fact that Firefox cannot copy + paste it, and the large amounts of CSS for more and more email addresses on a site, it suddenly becomes a not-so-good idea anymore.
To make matters worse, if someone were to publish their business' email addresses like this in a single CSS file - well... can you imagine every email address available for a spammer to download? That would be like hiding the keys to your house under a fake rock. That's pink. (Well, maybe harvestors don't parse CSS, yet...).
