Might it not be simpler, implementation-wise, to assume rotation point to be the upper-left corner of the box, and to limit rotation to positioned elements outside the normal flow? Section 9.3.2 of the CSS2 spec states that "An element is said to be positioned if its 'position' property has a value other than 'static'. Positioned elements generate positioned boxes, laid out according to four properties..." Perhaps the simplest means for rotation would be to add a fifth property "angle" or "rotation", with the rotation point being the same point used for positioning. David Perrell
