Comment 4 for bug 171826

Originator: YES

I saw that inkscape doesn't write the changes in "scale" or "translation"
to the transformation matrix, but writes them as height/width or x/y values
(except for certain objects like stars, where it keeps also translation
values)...
So inkscape's trasform matrix use isn't standard for all objects...
...I also took a look in the svg specification and saw that it's not so
easy to decompose the matrix (if that is actually possible because
rotation, skewness and scale values are all product of multiplications...)
Have you thought about keeping a history of changes in
scale/rotation/skewness somewhere else? what I intended with this request
was to ask for a way to be able to change current rotation or scale
values...
