When Maciej mentioned "supporting keyframes for transitions in some form", I assumed it was in reference to earlier conversation about inserting a keyframe-based animation into a transition so that it would play while the transition played, thus allowing a vertical bounce while transitioned 'left'. Perhaps I misunderstood.

The keyframes would have to be expressed in terms of these percentages. As I said in a previous post, I don't think we should consider this for this release of the Transitions spec.

I just think we should keep terminology straight. The concept of adding keyframe to transitions has been discussed on this list and as we both agree that's different from triggering an animation from a property value change, which is what we've been discussing on this thread.
