Cameron asked if we add a note with a link the the definition of a property, if it is defined by a CSS spec. This is the case for the 'transform' property [1]. Should I still add the complete table with description of name, values, computed values, initial value and so on? At the moment I just have the name, and the information that it is animatable. Is that enough?

Whatever you feel is most readable.  The name + link should be fine,
but if you feel it would help the readability of that section of SVG
to have a more complete table (in particular, the syntax), feel free.

Have a statement that the normative definition of the property is in
spec CSS-foo.  The CSS specs now have boilerplate stating how to
resolve conflicts in favor of newer modules.

A mention would probably be good, since they're useful in SVG and
readers of the spec may not have read the full CSS 3d transforms
section.
