This has been previously raised in bug #24919, but that bug was closed and it was claimed that transforms only apply to inline elements. This is not correct, according to the spec[1] both inline and block-level elements are supported. Also, both Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft IE9 support 2D transforms on inline elements.

I will have to raise this on www-style. 357929 4 simon.fraser 2011-02-25 08:25:42 -0800 I didn't see any specific objections to my proposal at <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Nov/0222.html>
