Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-transforms-2] Please remove from drafts: scale, translate, rotate CSS style etc.

I agree these properties are very useful, for the reasons @birtles stated, and would not want to see them removed. But I think they can also be confusing for the reasons given in @Nadya678's issue.

A few clarifications to the [section defining the properties](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-transforms-2/#individual-transforms) could help:

- As @astearns mentioned, there should be a description of the order in which the three properties are applied, with a link to the [section on the Current Transformation Matrix](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-transforms-2/#ctm)

- There should also be a note clearly stating that these are _not_ longhands for the `transform` property, and that they do not replace any transformations specified with that property.

- As mentioned in #2109, there should be some sort of explicit statement about which values trigger 3D transformation mode. 

It would probably also be useful to have an example showing how they can be used to apply multiple independent transformations. E.g., how it allows you to add a `:hover { scale: 1.1; }` rule on a class of elements that already have (possibly unique) translations or rotations.
