RE: ISSUE-59: inconsistencies regarding animatability of style properties [DFXP 1.0]

It occurs to me also that by the same argument, there is no reason that attributes like @region and @style could not also be animatable, (it which might even give motivation for the inherit value).

e.g.:

<p begin="1s" dur="3s" region="ordinaryCaption">
   <set begin="2s" dur="1s" region="offsetCaptionLeft"/>Phrase being interrupted</p>
<p begin="2s" dur="2s" region="offsetCaptionRight">
   <set begin="1s" region="ordinaryCaption "/>Interrupting phrase</p>

In such a case, it might be useful to be able to override a local style to the inherited value, but where one might not know what the currently applicable inherit was.

Just a thought.

properties

tts:direction
tts:displayAlign
tts:dynamicFlow
tts:extent
tts:origin
tts:overflow
tts:unicodeBidi
tts:writingMode

are not defined as animatable, and no rationale for lack of animatability is described;

to simplify animation model, i propose to make all style properties animatable
