Right. In fact, we have prose that says animation-iteration-count:0 behaves like a 0s duration. And animation-duration says:

	# If the <time> is 0s, like the initial value, the keyframes of 	
	# the animation have no effect, but the animation itself still 
	# occurs instantaneously. That is, animation-fill-mode applies 
	# as normal, filling backwards or forwards as appropriate, and 
	# animation events still fire.

In other words, animation-iteration-count:0 will show the 0% keyframe when there is an animation-delay and animation-fill-mode is either 'backwards' or 'both. After the delay expires, the animation runs instantaneously and then uses the values defined by the 100%/to keyframe if animation-fill-mode is set to 'forwards' or 'both'.

I think this is all implied but it might not hurt clarifying this interaction.
