But he has display:none; on the div.hidden rule.

So basically the animation should run with display:block through all keyframes, then once it is done it reverts to the non-animated style where display is none.

This could lead to some weird behaviour, such as if the animation had a delay. A lot depends on when exactly the animation starts. The spec is awful in these areas :(

If that's not the case then I'll fix it. If WebKit doesn't implement this then it's a bug too.
