The thing to bear in mind is that at some shiny point in the future, the specs should annotate each CSS property with information about whether they are animatable. If you cast yourself into the future and imagine writing the prose for this, simpler rules about when gradients interpolate will be easier to explain than more complex ones.

Right.  The section of Images which describes gradient interpolation
shows off this sort of thing - I currently have just two rules
describing whether or not a gradient is interpolable.
