When running a transition of -webkit-transform, children with "-webkit-transform: inherit" should also animate. This does not work correctly with accelerated transitions.
This needs an example. But I don't think this will work since styles aren't resolved during the animation. We would need to detect whether any animations depend on a parent, this sounds complicated.
I expect this was fixed recently with all the work done by Antti and myself to integrate correctly with the CSS cascade and deal with "inherit". Please reopen this if you find this to not be the case with a test case if possible.
