This maps better to typical user interface usage, and saves having to remember the exact order of transform functions to specify in the transform value.

inherit If specified, the associated element takes the computed value of its parent element animation-delay property.
revert Reverts the cascaded value of the property from its current value to the value the property
revert-layer Rollback styles to the ones specified in previous cascade layers.
