LANG: Transform node

Yet another short VRML language question.

A Transform node like

Transform {
translation <tran1>
rotation <rot1>
scaleFactor <scale>
scaleOrientation <rot2>
center <tran2>
}

is equivalent (or not?) to a sequence

Translation { translation <tran1> }
Rotation { rotation <rot1> }
Scale { scaleFactor <scale> }
Rotation { rotation <rot2> }
Translation { translation <tran2> }

... or do have rot2/tran2 to be inverted/exchanged?

Espcecially scaleOrientation seems like rotating the scaleFactor
vector only.

(the spec is not very verbose concerning these issues...)

tanx,
