In theory, you could. In transitioning from a fixed angle to a corner-to-corner angle, for instance, you just keep rotating the angle until it stretches from one corner to the other, and for the very last step, switch to the keyword version with the angle converted (for the reverse animation, do the conversion as the very first step).  For any 'as-square' angle in my syntax, there would be an equivalent non-stretchy angle. The numbers would jump at the beginning or end, due to the conversion, but for any step along the way, there would be a simple answer to the question of what the angle is. The keyword is there to handle different sized rectangles, but there is still a simple-angle equivalent for any box involved. It might even be handy to know what that angle is through the CSSOM when not transitioning.
