Yes, but the CSS Transitions syntax is far better than the SMIL syntax, for
several reasons (being purely CSS-based is one reason). Trying to
synchronize the syntax would destroy that and doesn't seem worth it.

Indeed, and we are much less interested in Apple's CSS Animation proposal
than CSS Transitions.
