I don't think it does, since the normal use would be via the
shorthand, and all the properties are comma-separated lists:

  animation: keyframes(wobble) 2s 3, transition(color) 6s;

(Again, an additive cascade would be helpful here, but that's also
true of animations and transitions on their own.)
