I extraced your mockup and tried to apply it the to the accordion:
http://jqueryjs.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/plugins/sync-animations/sync-accordion.html
It doesn't look like the mockup helps at all with the specific
accordion animation problems. I'd appreciate help getting that to work
for now (see also http://dev.jqueryui.com/ticket/4011), we can get to
general synced animations later...
