If a timeline is the sequence of a number of child animations, unlike all the other properties it only makes sense for autoplay to be global.

It's not clear what the expected behavior would even be. If a timeline has a number of both autoplay:true and false children, what happens to the timeline when one of the false children is reached in the sequence?

Similarly, it's not clear what should be autoplaying if the timeline is false but some children are true.

And for autoplay false children, individual children can't be accessed, so you can't call play() on them, and it's not clear what it means for the whole sequence when one (or multiple) segments within that sequence starts playing.

Best fix is probably to adjust the documentation so that this behavior is mentioned, because it's definitely the only sane behavior.

That works for me as a solution, too.

Fixed in V4 :)
