Description Adenilson Cavalcanti 2014-07-17 19:53:44 UTC 
In section 6. The DOMMatrix interfaces, it follows as:

interface DOMMatrixReadOnly {
    // These attributes are simple aliases for certain elements of the 4x4 matrix
...
}

What the "certain elements" means? Perhaps we could we be more explicit here and explain which elements are (e.g. m11, m22, m33, m44 if it was the matrix diagonal).

Check out the individual attributes. They state it more explicit.

a
Corresponds to the attribute m11.

I don't want to link from the WebIDL to the descriptions in the spec directly. Mostly because IDLs get copy pasted into implementations.

Do you think that is good enough?
