yes. another use case are pages that don't fully load (usually due to slow 
servers or limited client-side bandwidth) so it never goes out of "stop" and 
what the user wants to do is reload the page... now they have to hit stop to 
get it to switch modes then hit reload. but since reload isn't visible, that 
means the user has to learn a lot more about the interface and such 
modalities are one of the things most people are quite poor at grasping. not 
to mention it now takes 2 clicks =0
