For the next release, improving page transitions is a top priority. It's clear that overlfow: support isn't broadly supported and that JS scrollers are heavy and only work on a small slice of our target platforms so we need to make sure that we have a solid set fo baseline transitions that work on the greatest number of platforms and are as smooth and blink-free as possible.

- need a re-think to embrace the constraints we have
- scrolling the docs can't be avoided, but we cn hide the jumpiness = introduce 1-2 new transitions that are smooth on all our platforms
- video sketch for animations (slow to illustrate the steps) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di3-fz5TZKQ
- consider packing the new transitions with the switch from keyframe-based animations to transitions so we can package these with Opera, Firefox and IE10 support
- speed up page load/enhancement/transition time overall
