Just to understand. MLT Keyframes are attached to an effect, as they are
properties. 

But in other environments keyframes are objects, which can be defined
anywhere. Effects apply to keyframes and not the converse.

I don't know MLT XML syntax to tell if keyframes can be independant
objects in MLT. But if you create an XML syntax for keyframes, defining
them as XML objects, you would not break backward compatibility.

Kind regards,
