So, I assume that Patrick meant this discussion:

     http://www.w3.org/2010/03/11-fx-minutes.html#item02


 From what I remember there was consensus around making 'transform' a presentation attribute in SVG, and treating it exactly the same as any other presentation attribute (the details of how to apply it then falls out of the existing model). Perhaps this needs to be called out explicitly in the spec (as an informative note)?

The transform property currently says it applies to "svg container elements and graphics elements", the full list of elements in SVG 1.1 (according to the attributes appendix) that can have a transform attribute
is:

     ‘a’, ‘circle’, ‘clipPath’, ‘defs’, ‘ellipse’, ‘foreignObject’, ‘g’, ‘image’, ‘line’, ‘path’, ‘polygon’, ‘polyline’, ‘rect’, ‘switch’, ‘text’, ‘use’.

SVG 1.1 graphics elements are: ‘circle’, ‘ellipse’, ‘image’, ‘line’, ‘path’, ‘polygon’, ‘polyline’, ‘rect’, ‘text’ and ‘use’.
SVG 1.1 container elements are: ‘a’, ‘defs’, ‘glyph’, ‘g’, ‘marker’, ‘mask’, ‘missing-glyph’, ‘pattern’, ‘svg’, ‘switch’ and ‘symbol’.

The difference between the definitions in SVG 1.1 and in 2d transforms
are: 'glyph', 'marker', 'mask', 'missing-glyph', 'pattern', 'svg', 'symbol'. And note that <pattern> already has a 'patternTransform'  
attribute. The difference needs to be described better since css 2d transforms introduces new functionality on some svg elements where there didn't use to be a transform attribute before.

As a status update, there are currently two open actions on the 2d transforms spec:

Cheers
