It's only intended to reflect a practical 'real life' implementation point 
of view.
If you take 10 visitors, 5+ of them will use a browser that don't support 
CSS 3
Transforms, even prefixed (IE8-, FireFox 3.0-, ...).

This makes the use of CSS Transform a no-go for any essential functionnality
of your website. (It would be even clearer if vendor-prefixed properties 
only
worked in a "dev" mode, or by 'page-specific' / 'site header ' opt-in but 
it's
not the case, for political and historical reasons).

CSS 2.1 is supported by all browsers used today, or nearly. I just meant 
that,
not anything else ;-)
