It has been suggested that non-animatable properties should respect transition-delay, to allow the author to control when they change.

So, if you want an image to change after a period of time the logical thing to do would be to go: transition-property: background-image; transition-delay: 2s But this won't work since you need a transition-duration. Seems like the better model would be to use a step function and set the transition up like any other property. Then all non-animatable properties would always use a step timing-function, either implicit or explicit. Then you'd set it up like this: transition-property: background-image; transition-duration: 2s; transition-timing-function: step-end; (I don't remember the step function syntax, but you get the idea). I think this makes more sense and I think it would be easier to integrate this with other transitions.

So maybe a better title for this bug is "Allow non-animatable properties to animate with step timing-function"?

Or we still respect the delay even if the duration is zero?
