I noticed that css-transforms-2 doesn't have a formal definition of flattening. While writing one (with the intent of linking to it), I also noticed that nothing actually says that 3-D scenes are eventually flattened at the root of the 3D Rendering Context.
I have edits to add this, but since they're somewhat substantive I'm filing this issue for review of those edits.
