Transforms Publication
----------------------

ScribeNick: dbaron
   Elika: SVG WG wants us to publish transforms on the same day as ???,
          so we have a combined news item.
   howcome: what was the compromise?
   Steve: Dean and I agreed on a paragraph.
   Steve: [reads paragraph]
   <fantasai> http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-2d-transforms/
   howcome: I think the second role (layout-affecting transforms) should
            be in a separate spec, since it's so different.
   Steve: It's all the same properties.
   Anne: No need to discuss this now.
   Anne: Just agree on the text and whether to publish Wednesday.
   Elika: The text you read isn't in the draft.
   Steve: Hmm, he said he'd put this in in mail to me on 23 Feb.
   Chris: Last modification of that draft is 18 Feb.
   http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-css-wg/2009JanMar/0114.html
   ACTION: Bert to put text from
           http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-css-wg/2009JanMar/0114.html
           into css3-2d-transforms and request publication.
