Being fixed in the upcoming CSS transforms specifications I believe.

In less time then the thought, the computer can do this. Am I wrong to think this is a waste of time, resources and just plain stupid?

You don't need to do that even now.
Add an inner <svg> element and then redefine the co-ordinates to whatever you want using its viewBox. Place the inner <svg> at x="85%" y="30%". The <svg> element does the transforming for you.
