It's a bit odd, especially with rotations, but I think it makes more sense than transforming all the boxes together (even though that would be easier for us to implement). > > It seems unexpected to me. I expect it to act more like position:relative. Can you explain why it makes more sense, and what use case would benefit by doing the child inlines separately? Or, child lineboxes, I guess. I'm a little confused.
