Proposal: Promote SVG Viewbox to a CSS property, extend to all transformable elements

_From @vidhill on May 19, 2016 14:0_ First, original proposition, https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-svg/2013Dec/0080.html Yes, I'm trying to bring this to the table again as it did not seem to get much attention/discussion the last time around. -maybe being on Github will be more conducive to discussion.. I really agree with this proposal, being able to modify the viewbox on a SVG element using CSS would allow for very useful applications of SVG in a responsive layout, (See Sara Soueidan's examples below) Sara Soueidan has a very good article demonstrating a perfect need and use cases for this here: https://sarasoueidan.com/blog/svg-art-direction-using-viewbox/ There were some enthusiastic responses from some SVG heads.. @sdras **Sarah Drasner** [Mail List Reply](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2016Apr/0174.html) @AmeliaBR **Amelia Bellamy-Royds** [Mail List Reply](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2016Apr/0203.html) @jakearchibald Jake Archibald [Mail List Proposal](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2016Feb/0328.html#options3) _Copied from original issue: w3c/csswg-drafts#128_
