Vista - Binding on Freezables in Templates

Say for example I have a DataTemplate as such:

<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.RenderTransform>
<RotateTransform />
</Grid.RenderTransform>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>

How can I bind the Angle property of the RotateTransform?

* I can't set it directly because it's a freezable. : This Freezable can
not be frozen.

<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.RenderTransform>
<RotateTransform Angle="{Binding}" />
</Grid.RenderTransform>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>

* I can't set it in a Trigger? : Error at element 'Setter' : Cannot find
the Trigger target 'rotation'..

<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Grid.RenderTransform>
<RotateTransform x:Name="rotation" />
</Grid.RenderTransform>
<Button />
</Grid>
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsLoaded" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="rotation" Property="Angle" Value="{Binding}" />
</Trigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
</DataTemplate>

* I can't use a property path in a Trigger? : Cannot find the Type 'RenderTransform.(RotateTransform'.
Note that Type names are case sensitive.
- Aside: I can animate a property path, but I can' "set" one, why not?

<DataTemplate>
<Grid Name="Grid">
<Grid.RenderTransform>
<RotateTransform />
</Grid.RenderTransform>
<Button />
</Grid>
<DataTemplate.Triggers>
<Trigger Property="IsLoaded" Value="True">
<Setter TargetName="Grid" Property="RenderTransform.(RotateTransform.Angle)"
Value="{Binding}" />
</Trigger>
</DataTemplate.Triggers>
</DataTemplate>

Help! I'm running out of ideas.

For the last sample I think it's
<Setter TargetName="Grid"
Property="(Grid.RenderTransform).(RotateTransform.Angle)" Value="{Binding}" />
