1478088 - Decide on the status of 3d transforms in SVG

Status: NEW

(Core :: SVG, enhancement, P3)

Description

We currently seem to support 3d transforms in SVG but Chrome and Safari don't. It seems like we should either convince the other browsers to implement it or consider dropping support ourselves to avoid the implementation burden.

We support this pretty much by accident, since it "just worked" after switching SVG to use display lists. To make things more consistent for authors I would lean towards supporting 3d transforms in SVG as we do in HTML - if we can persuade Chrome to do the same - but otherwise I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other.
