I like this as well. It solves one interesting use-case, where you have a container which is broken across columns or pages, a child element, and a child abspos that you want to position relative to the other child. The other APIs I've suggested don't really work for this case - with this, you could do: child.transformPoint(container, 0, 0); ~TJ
