But it makes setting the "transform" attribute on an SVG element different from setting the CSS "transform" property on the element; the former sets transform-origin but the latter does not. 1a is the other way around; setting the SVG "transform" attribute would behave consistently with setting the CSS "transform" property, but setting CSS transforms on an SVG element would behave differently to an HTML element, by default. Which consistency is more important? I propose choosing consistency between the "transform" attribute and the "transform" property, option 1a. I thought that previous telcons already decided to take 1a? Nevertheless I'd agree to 1a, this is downward compatible to already existing webpages using CSS Transform. Would it be possible to switch to the behavior of CSS for SVG 2.0? Or should SVG 2.0 be downward compatible to 1.x in this case? I bet most SVG's out there are affected by such a decision if they do not provide a version number. Greetings, Dirk
