Hi Tav, Tavmjong Bah: > By default the transformation center is the center of the bounding box > but it can be changed by the user.

This seems similar to the transform-origin property from the Transforms specs: http://dev.w3.org/Graphics-FX/modules/2D-transforms/spec/2DTransforms.html#transform-origin-prop-attr http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-2d-transforms/#transform-origin-property I believe Anthony is gathering up the issues that have already been discussed in the FX TF regarding harmonising SVG and CSS transforms, and I am not sure whether a solution to “the transform-origin problem” has been proposed/accepted yet. (The problem being that SVG elements need a default of “top left” while CSS needs “50% 50%”.) -- Cameron McCormack ≝ http://mcc.id.au/
