RE: Agenda, Thu 26 Feb, 2009 telcon

AFAIK, there is no information about the current graphic state (which now includes transformations) provided to a plugin so that it can use that information to perform the necessary operations on its content.  The browser isn't going to do my styling/transforming for it...I have to do that myself, and in order to do so, I need information not currently provided...

How are the transform properties any different from other CSS properties? In what way is the plugin model preventing this from being implemented?
