If so, the animation above would flash as scale hits 0. And in fact, every element with scale(0) would draw. I don't think SVG suggests this behaviour, for the same reason. An element with scale(0) or skewX(90) should not appear (not render). It shouldn't render as if there was an identity transform. Dean
