What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The computed value for animation-timeline in the formal definition for animation is different than for other props. Every property is a list. They all say "as specified". Only animation-timeline is different. It should be a list of the default value auto until browsers support it, then it should be a "as specified". Possibly, all should be a list as specified.

What did you expect to see?
