There is new text
Animation is based on the computed value of properties. Thus, keywords
such as 'inherit' which yield a computed value may be inherited
because the computed value is a scalar or list of scalars. For
example, fill="inherit" may be animated, because the computed value of
fill will be a color.
This seems wrong ("may be inherited"?) and misses my point. For the
example I gave
<rect color="green" fill="#000000" height="100" width="100">
<animateColor attributeName="fill"
from="#000000" to="currentColor"
begin="0s" dur="3s" fill="freeze" />
</rect>
an implementation would need to determine some numeric value for the
currentColor keyword and the specification does not say which value
that might be. If this is allowed, the specification would need to say
for which element the computed value of the color property would be
considered, when that would happen, and what happens if the computed
value changes while the animation is running. So this does not address
my concern.
