Change in the middle, as a general-purpose, diplomatic middle ground?

Sometimes you want the threshold transition to occur before the
beginning, other times after the finish. I've never wanted to
transition change "display" in the middle of a transition, but I have
wanted to set display to other than "none" before the beginning of
transitions, and vice-versa after the end of transitions. Ditto for
visibility.

Things like text-decoration or float or direction aren't so clear cut.
