Which is fine up to the point where 'transform-origin' is explicitly set  
to something else, since IMHO that implies that the author wanted a  
different behavior. I'd think that what most authors would like in this  
case, is for rotate and scale transforms to operate on the element in an  
intuitive way, and not to have to explicitly override two different  
properties (transform-origin AND transform-box) in order to get that.
