I think we all agree:

  `start` will be deprecated as an attribute.

We need a replacement that implies both that the animator will start 
immediately, and also that it can be stopped and restarted by toggling the 
value.  Proposals have included `started`, `autostart`, `autorun`, and 
`enabled`.  I have one more:

  `applied`

This has precedent from <state>.  A <state> is applied or removed by setting 
`applied` to `true` or `false`.  I think there is a reasonable parallel with 
animators.  When the animator is applied, it starts from it's initial state and 
animates the designated attribute according to the animator's parameters.  When 
the animator is unapplied, it stops animating (and leaves the animated property 
where it last was).  Reapplying an animator starts it from its initial state.  
(You use `paused` if you want to suspend and resume the animator.)
