Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-round-display][motion-path] Integrate polar positioning of CSS Round Display to Motion Path

> For 'offset-rotation', I think that it's better to align with CSS3 
values than maths (i.e. 0deg points north) but I don't feel strongly.

The question is a non-sequitur, as offset-rotation does not specify a 
direction, just a rotation.  The only relevant question is whether the
 rotation is CW or CCW, and the correct answer is CW to match the 
entire rest of CSS.  And I feel *extremely* strongly about this; we 
used to have linear-gradient() do the "mathy polar angles" thing and 
specifically switched it to bearing angles.

> The path has start point as the center of the containing block

We resolved during the call that this was incorrect - the "auto" value
 for `offset-position` is just the current position of the element.  
In other words, this is a transform, and by default there's no initial
 repositioning; `offset-position` can specify one explicitly, tho.  So
 to get the old sort of "polar positioning" you just need to specify 
`offset-position: center; offset-path: 45deg;`.
