Symmetry. Makes it work the same regardless of what "direction" the transition happens in. 'visibility' is an exception to this, from before we added the general rule, but note that it actually has slightly different behavior - mixing "visible" and "hidden" always results in "visible" unless it's at 100% "hidden". This was done so that if you were hiding/showing an element with a transition, you could use 'visibility' to ensure it's completely hidden at the end of the animation, but you want it to go back to being visible immediately once you start an unhide animation. ~TJ
