This is a transformation that is used quite often by animators since it's easy to find examples on the web. You omitted one fact: SVG has a set of transform functions that does not include your notion of rotate(x,y). I think it would be a mistake to blaze a trail here unless we were absolutely certain it was the right set of new functionality. In the future we might want take a crack at unifying the Matrix functionality between the two and that might be a good time to refine the API. But in my opinion we shouldn't add this function in the first release. ----- ~Chris cmarrin@apple.com
