Thanks for updating the wiki!

If you want to check for supported attributes, the ultimate source is
still the source:
<http://swfmill.org/trac/browser/trunk/src/xslt/simple-elements.xslt>
It's fairly readable and easy to understand.

There is no direct support for a rotation attribute, but for x, y,
scalex, scaley, skewx and skewy, which amounts to a transformation
matrix. So, if you want to rotate, it /should/ be (not tested):

scalex = cos( angle )
scaley = cos( angle )
skewx = -sin( angle )
skewy = sin( angle )

Admittedly, this is not as straight forward as one would wish for...
