Is there any particular reason that OS-X does not choose to implement this
behaviour?

It's distracting if everything you mouse over lights up.

Is there something in the HIG that specifies when this should and
should not be used?

Can't remember anything special. Those roll over effects like in Safari's bookmarks bar or the address "objects" in Mail are fairly new.

Generally you should try to keep the UI simple. There's just no need to highlight a standard user interface element. The user already knows that he can click it.

bye. Andreas.
