The short answer is the latter.

    <svg onload="init(evt)">
        <script type="text/ecmascript">
            function init(evt) {
                if ( window.svgDocument == null )
                    svgDocument = evt.target.ownerDocument;

                var svgRoot = svgDocument.rootElement;
                svgRoot.currentScale = 2;
                svgRoot.currentTranslate.x = 10;
                svgRoot.currentTranslate.y = 10;
            }
        </script>
        <rect width="10" height="10" fill="blue"/>
    </svg>

should look the same as:

    <svg>
        <rect width="10" height="10" fill="blue"
              transform="translate(10,10) scale(2)"/>
    </svg>

the rect's new dimensions could be calculated in a manner similar to this
pseudo-code:

    var scale = 2;
    var translate = new Point(10,10);
    rect.x = rect.x * scale + translate.x;
    rect.y = rect.y * scale + translate.y;
    rect.width *= scale;
    rect.height *= scale;
