<number> is of course the wrong value here, <translation-value> is 
better. So the definition for rotate would be:

rotate(<angle> [, <translation-value>, <translation-value>])

if no cx or cy is specified, the rotation is about the origin of the 
element. Using cx, cy would result in translate(cx, cy) rotate(<angle>) 
translate(-cx,-cy).
