Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-transforms-2] Please remove from drafts: scale, translate, rotate CSS style etc.

One of the purposes of these properties is two provide a consistent order for combining the different types of transforms, rather than having to manage the list of transform functions oneself. This is particularly useful when animating the individual components independently. Without this, to achieve the same effect the author would require either additional wrapper elements, or additive animation with careful control of the composite order.

Animation libraries such as GreenSock animation also do this (although GreenSock further separates out x/y components).

Applications that require a different order to that defined for these properties can continue to use the `transform` property. That is, these properties are not intended to entirely replace the `transform` property but at the same time they enable use cases not possible with `transform`.
