In WebKit both interfaces map to one kind of 4x4 matrix object, with
attributes and methods routed appropriately. It even serializes to the
2d or 3d matrix transform functions ('matrix(...)' or 'matrix3d(...)',
respectively) based on the transform it represents at the time.
This behavior is (I think) extremely helpful. It is also implied by
calling both "CSSMatrix," but should perhaps be made explicit if it is
fully intended.
