Thanks, that was quick -- I've added your entries to the table:

Yes.

Indeed, fixed.

So, the only difference between 'play-in' and 'play-during' is that
'play-during' has 'infinite' as an implicit value?

I think your syntax looks good, it's quite readable. 

I don't like having *four* sets of properties (transition, play-in,
play-during, play-out) that all can accept comma-separated values.

And I don't like that the "transition" name (which is hard to spell)
is still in there. May I suggest that you rename "transition" to
"effect" (or something) in your proposal?
