    <thetext>Gecko allows syntax like matrix(1, 0, 0, 1, 5em, 10%), with &lt;translation-value&gt; instead of &lt;number&gt; for the last two entries (it also accepts &lt;number&gt;).  Likewise for matrix3d(), it allows &lt;translation-value&gt; instead of &lt;number&gt; for the fourth- and third-to-last entries, and &lt;length&gt; instead of &lt;number&gt; for the second-to-last.  The spec doesn&apos;t allow this, but some Gecko developers want it to:

(David Baron [:dbaron])
&gt; We should change this in the same release that we unprefix.  (Though I think
&gt; maybe we should try to convince other browsers to change.)

(Matt Woodrow (:mattwoodrow))
&gt; This was definitely an intentional choice to provide flexibility for
&gt; authors, consistency with the translate() functions, and consistency with
&gt; our existing matrix() implementation.
&gt; 
&gt; I&apos;d prefer to see this allowed in the spec than remove it from our code.

Currently, the other three engines (IE, WebKit, Opera) don&apos;t allow this, but it seems like a possibly useful feature.  Do we want Gecko to remove the feature, or everyone else to add it?  Are other engines interested in adding it?
