At least in Gecko, not including the effects of transforms is the default and one has to write code to explicitly include the effects of transforms where desired. Maybe from the author's point of view it would be more consistent to have client* and offset* include transform effects, but those APIs are so horrible and broken that I think we should touch them as little as possible.

It would be unfortunate to have to figure out the behavior of getBoundingClientRect by collecting fragments from many specs.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us." [1 John 1:8-10]
