Sorry for not being able to attend, but it was 9:30pm my time.  I
don't like you guys *that* much. ^_^

We are *generally* fine with doing stuff on GitHub.  Shane, check with
Chris DiBona for details.

Are you people reading my mind, or did you actually come up with this
independently, at the same time as me?

I've been floating this *exact* proposal around the office
(concretely, letting you specify that one of the scroll axises of an
element instead scrubs a named timeline, which you can then attach
animations to).  I thought it was crazy when I first came up with it,
but apparently it's actually a really legit idea, because it lets us
combine fast scrolling (happens because the compositor intercepts the
scroll before WebKit gets to it) and fast animation (same thing -
compositor intercepts early).
