This proposal adds a way to query the current position and rotation of a shape that is animated with animateMotion. It's related to {{ISSUE|2204}} - Improve DOM Interfaces for SMIL Values.

 partial interface SVGAnimateMotionElement {
 
   // The position on the path at the current time, the returned object is a snapshot and is not live.
   SVGPoint position;
 
   // The rotation angle (in degrees) at the current time, taking into account the 'rotate' attribute.
   readonly float angle; 
 };

== Issues ==

* Could perhaps return an SVGAngle for the angle instead, but then the whole object should be read-only, and most of the methods there are only useful on mutable objects.
* Could add as a convinience a transform property too, to get the combined translate/rotate transform.
