I agree with others that this is behaviour, and doesn't belong in
CSS. Some things, like marquee almost certainly only got in because
marquee was forced into HTML by Microsoft. (Actually, marquee is bad
practice, from an accessibility point of view.)

You need to make the language more general. Vector animation has a
time line, but doesn't necessarily have frames.

For Flash like effects with W3C technologies, use, what has become,
W3C's equivalent of Flash, SVG. (Although, personally, I would prefer
to have a widely implemented static vector format than a Flash competitor.)

Yes, but that also exposes a flaw in that a user cannot force the
animation to run without stopping or pausing; you need another value.
