This is a bug in WebKit, and we're aware of it <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52699>. There have been previous discussions on the issue of whether matrix() should take Lengths, which is related to the difference in behavior between translate() and matrix(). [If we fixed webkit to take Lengths in matrix(), that would round too unless we fixed the above bug.] Simon
