I'm OK with that line of reasoning as long as it is doable. I mainly  
fealt we should say one way or the other, and wasn't sure if we had yet.

My reason for going the other way was that the transition is based on  
the changed value of 'left'. If you say that the inner animation  
overrides that, then there is no longer a left value to transition. I  
think what you realy want is to multiply the two together for the  
final animated effect, and that's more like what you describe. That  
would seem to complicate computed values, but works for me.

I'm not sure I follow, but that's OK.

We should define what it does.
