Re: [svgwg] Definition of `transform` attribute in SVG 2 is not backward compatible to SVG 1.1 (#644)

@dirkschulze I guess it depends on your mental model of how transforms work.  And whether you think in terms of pre- or post-multiplied matrices.  I prefer the description in SVG 1.1, that describes it in terms of it's equivalent transform functions:

> The operation represents the equivalent of the following specification: `translate(<cx>, <cy>) rotate(<rotate-angle>) translate(-<cx>, -<cy>)`.

I guess technically the Transforms spec is the same.  But writing it out as a full sentence makes it less intuitive in my opinion.  To me it switches the context around.
