Because we don't deal with transforms only in an Gecko-based environment where we can retrieve the originating CSS declaration. We also add scripts to the page we're editing and these scripts should be able to easily retrieve the transformations applied to a given element. In a x-browser environement, only computed value is available at this time... But, yes, as I told Dean, a widely available API to retrieve the source declaration block would help a lot. As I told Dean, and you witnessed it by yourself during old css wg ftf meetings, I have requested such an API at least two or three times. Here we are... </Daniel>
