testcase showing the problem

We have a testcase where animations fail to start when you load a dynamic style sheet. Attached testcase shows the problem. It is timing related, so it rarely happens on the desktop, but it happens more often on embedded devices.

I've tracked this down to the fact that the animation is getting destroyed early, when style gets recalculated after loading the new style sheet. It's very timing sensitive and adding printfs to track it down makes it stop failing. But so far it looks like the keyframes are getting destroyed, so it decides to delete the animation since there are no keyframes.

I don't think the comment is necessary; the code speaks for itself.

Or t = max(t, 0);

No need for these meta tags.

I'd simplify this JS to not be objecty, and to make the names like 'splash' more generic.

Maybe add a comment saying "/* This file deliberately left blank */ ?

Should remove rules that don't pertain to the issue, and pref. avoid rules that kick us into compositing mode.

r=me with more simplified testcase.
