First off, is this something you were looking to do for Summer of Code, for school, or something you just want to do on your own time?
Given that we don't have any existing animation functionality and there are no immediate plans to implement it, I don't know that this would be a great use of your time. However, if you feel strongly compelled to because it is of great interest, it could possibly help guide someone who is looking to add animation down the road by eliminating some questions.
I would add:
Because the implementation of animation will likely be a slow and gradual process; designs for the user interface should grow or have a sense about which parts of the design should be done in a compartmental way.
This gives the designer more work, but should make the first jobs of animation implementation easier.
