Some remarks on the bug.

- happens with Safari as well
- spec does not indicate what to do AFAICS
- tried with FF and Opera and both throw an exception

possible solutions:
1 have something similar to StrictTypeChecking flag but make it also
   throw on null/undefined
2 replace the assert with if (!matrix) return 0 in SVGTransformListPropertyTearO.h, fixes
   the crash but is not what other implementations do.
3 hack the bindings to do something special for SVGTransformList? Sounds more hacky than 1.

Waiting for feedback from the bindings experts :)
Cheers,

Rob.

Good repo, I was aware of the problem, but forgot to file a bug about it.
The ASSERTION should turn in a throw.

createSVGTransformFromMatrix has to take an ExceptionCode& parameter, that's then set to a TYPE_MISMATCH_ERR.

Sth. like
if (!matrix) { ec = TYPE_MISMATCH_ERR; return 0; }

That should fix the problem.
Just required adding "raises (DOMException)" to the createSVGTransformFromMatrix method in the SVGTransformList.idl.

Rob, do you want to fix it? I'm busy this weekend..

Excellent, please fix the style issues before landing, r=me.

Each new statement should go into its own line.
