Summary CSS 2D transformations do not work with inline elements

CSS 2D transforms do not work when applied to inline elements. 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.

The spec will be updated to clarify that transforms are not applied to inline elements (but are applied to inline-level elements like inline-block, and to replaced elements).

But that was not the consensus reached in the www-style thread, and it is not how IE, Firefox, or Opera's implementation of 2D transforms work. I will have to raise this on www-style.
