[CSSWG][css3-transitions] Updated WD of CSS Transitions

The CSS WG has published an updated Working Draft of CSS
Transitions:

    http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-transitions/

CSS Transitions allows property changes in CSS values to occur
smoothly over a specified duration. 

This contains a number of significant changes relative to the
previous working draft.  The most significant changes are in two
areas:

 (1) The specification now defines how transitions start much more
 clearly.  This will require updates to all shipping
 implementations, which all disagree, and most or all of which had
 behaviors that even their implementors thought were undesirable.

 (2) The rules for faster reversing of partially completed
 transitions now match Gecko's shipping behavior, rather than an
 alternative proposal that involved reversing timing functions.

We're particularly interested in feedback on these changes, but also
in other feedback about the spec.

I'm hoping that there won't be a need for any further changes of
this magnitude, and that the specification can go to last call
relatively soon.  I'm aware that there are some issues that need to
be addressed before that happens, but I'm expecting that the changes
needed for these issues will be smaller.  Any proposals for new
features will almost certainly be postponed to the next level of the
specification.

A more complete list of significant changes since the last working
draft is:

             What I was walling in or walling out,
             And to whom I was like to give offense.
