It is with some reluctance that I inform this list of a new ENABLE option: 
ANIMATION_API. I realise we are supposed to be removing these, not adding :(

Basically the feature is a scripting interface to CSS animations and 
potentially SMIL/SVG. It doesn't do much at the moment but will eventually 
allow you to query for all the running animations, pause and scrub the 
timeline, and create keyframes without going through the CSS OM (yuck!). It 
also needs to play nicely with the new requestAnimationFrame method.

Why a feature? Since it is a work-in-progress and does not have an official 
standard behind it (we plan to submit it once baked), it would be bad if 
official browser releases exposed something that people might start to use or 
test for. This allows an implementation to hide the DOM API. The actual 
implementation is still present.

It is disabled by default. Before I added the ENABLE, it was visible in trunk 
and nightly builds.

If you have any comments on the API in its very early stages, please contact me 
or send to public...@w3.org.
