Re: [css3-transitions] Interpolating transforms: a proposal to avoid Euler angles in favor of using quaternions

Sorry for the slow reply here.

The WebKit implementation of quaternions looks like it should produce 
equivalent rotations to the Gecko implementation.

That said, I think we should use Tim's original algorithm suggestion for 
the spec, primarily because it doesn't require any fudge factors. Not 
requiring any divisions either is always nice too.
