      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I've been using this for quite a while now. Normally in the label tag, I put something like "please leave blank" so that people without CSS know not to fill it in. I haven't had any complaints so far...]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[A couple of gotchas here:

Firstly, make sure that you don't give the hidden field a name like 'email' or 'name', otherwise you'll run into problems with some users who have autocompletion enabled for these fields in their browser.

Secondly, beware that this isn't that robust - it'll obviously offer no protection against targeted attacks, and you may find that some bots will try leaving a subset of the fields blank at random. This will definitely become the case if this technique becomes widespread.]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Dennis, glad you like it.

Nick, good point on the usability and making sure it is setup for folks that don't have CSS.

Thanks for the comments!]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I'm a fan of this technique and have been using it for client projects as well. You're exactly right about captchas being difficult to use and when conversion rates are a factor, a solution like this will help maintain conversion rates vs hurting them.

It's also really important to add instructions for users that don't have CSS enabled (e.g. mobile devices or screen readers) that they should not fill out that particular field. Doing so will keep accessibility folks happy :o)]]></content:encoded>
