This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The spec currently says: ""Because of this, elements with three-dimensional transformations could potentially render in an front-to-back order that different from the normal CSS rendering order"" Can we just remove CSS here? The rendering order is not necessarily defined by CSS on SVG. It has it's own definition. Hope removing doesn't make the sentence wrong in the HTML world.
"different from the normal CSS rendering order" could be "different from the order that they would be rendered in the absence of three-dimensional transforms" or something. Perhaps "different from the order that they would be otherwise be rendered in"
