------- Additional Comments from Simon Fraser (smfr) <simon.fraser at apple.com>
The rationale for turning off font smoothing when painting with a transform is
that the appearance of the text will not change when the transformed element
pops into a layer if it starts to animate.

Also, it gives web authors a back-door way to control font smoothing.
