As I am sure most of you know, most normal, channel or sign based mob traps were ruined in the 1.2.3 update. This was actually caused by updates to the AI used by monsters, put simply, monsters do not move around much if the player is more than 32 blocks from them, so monster traps that rely on mobs walking over signs or into channels no longer work. However this new design actually benefits slightly from the monsters not moving...
HOW IT WORKS
Every predefined amount of time, the floor on which the mobs spawn is shifted by pistons running down the length of the trap, and because moving blocks are non solid, the mob falls through the floor and into a water stream to be killed.
Also, as I am sure you know, there is currently an exploit whereby going a long distance from the ground and building a relatively small trap will yield good results, as you are always more than 128 blocks from any nearby caves. After playing around a bit I decided not to use this little exploit for the simple reason that something this game breaking is unlikely to be around much longer. I expect that it will probably be patched at some point in the near future.
