There are still web browser that don't handle css well too so you may want to add a small piece of text (hidden the same way) telling people to leave the field blank (of course doing so in a way the spambot won't immediately catch). Apart from that it seems like a great idea. Perhaps a supplement to rather than an alternative to a CAPTCHA. You can never have too much protection against spambots.
