Hello everyone,

http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-transitions/#animatable-properties- gives a 
list of animatable CSS properties.

According to this list it is possible to animate the border-color and 
border-width shorthand properties but not margin and padding.

Nevertheless the prose preceding that list says:

"The following describes how each property type undergoes transition or 
animation.

[...]

a shorthand property: If all the parts of a shorthand can be animated, 
then interpolation is performed as if each property was individually 
specified."

Is this an inconsistency in the list or a misunderstanding on my side?
