Okay; so what's wrong with <div style="transform:perspective(1000px)"> instead of <div style="perspective:1000px"> ? Is it just that they work differently if you use transform-style: flat? That just makes me think transform-style: flat should go away even more -- we could get rid of three out of the four properties that 3D transforms add.
