If animation-property value is a list, do we treat initial and inherit as: 1. unknown property names or... 2. treat the entire property value as invalid. I would expect #1.
This is related to issue 2 marked in the Transitions spec: "Issue 2 Are ‘none’, ‘inherit’, and ‘initial’ allowed as items in a list of identifiers (of length greater than one)?" This seems a rather significant and complex change at this stage.
It turned out there was no prose at all regarding inherit/initial being implicitly allowed as values for all the properties. Lifted the new section 2 from css3-flexbox.
