Delay only tells you when the animation start running; once it begins
running 
updating the delay has no effect. This also implies that
animation-play-state:paused has no effect on the delay: the latter should
elapse 
until the animation is ready to run the play state freezes it at 0%.

I'll admit the spec is not clear enough on this.
