Your primary problem seems to be that you want a reasonable way to create a "preview" of a set of keyframes, but all the vital information (duration, easing function, etc.) is set on the element rather than the keyframes. Can't you just make up some reasonable defaults? Or, if you want to get fancy, analyze the document to find out where the keyframes are used, extract the duration/function/etc data from those use-points, and then offer them as previewing options? The former seems easier than making people specify defaults on the keyframe, while often still being pretty useful. The latter is equivalent if they only use the animation once (but requires no changes to CSS), and potentially better if they use it in multiple places with different options. ~TJ
