Ah, thanks for the pointer.  It looks like the presentation was on the day I wasn't able to make it unfortunately :(

Simon, how do you feel about the "auto" value vs. using inheritance as I suggested in my other mail [1]?  Right now it sounds like "auto" would act as "inherit, unless a transform is applied in which case flat" which still seems a bit confusing to me.  For example, it seems unintuitive that these two examples would produce different results:

<div style="transform-style: preserve-3d; transform: rotateX(30deg);">
    <div>
        <div>
            <div>
                <div style="transform-style: preserve-3d; transform: rotateX(30deg);">

<div style="transform-style: preserve-3d; transform: rotateX(30deg);">
    <div>
        <div style="transform: scale(1)">
            <div>
                <div style="transform-style: preserve-3d; transform: rotateX(30deg);">

Thanks,
-Matt
