Nor technically nor logically transform and z-index are related as far as I understand (and yet I have them both implemented). Could you explain origin of the problem?

Whatever happens here, the spec certainly needs to be clarified, since it's pretty clear that everyone reading it thought one thing while the person writing it thought another.... -Boris
