As an author I would intuitively expect that list to contain those 
properties - shorthand or not - that could be used as a value for 
'transition-property'.

I would like to propose that shorthand properties be included in that 
list. The 'Value' column could refer to the respective values of the 
single properties, e.g.:

Property Name  |  Value
------------------------------------------
margin         |  see individual properties
margin-top     |  percentage, length
margin-right   |  percentage, length

...and so on...

Otherwise it might be helpful to mention that the list refers only to 
single properties but that it is also possible to use shorthand notation 
as a value for transition-property.
