Six-entry affine matricies are more commonly done as columns, such that the list (a,b,c,d,x,y) describes the following matrix:

        | a c x |
        | b d y |
        | 0 0 1 |

This is used by Cairo and PostScript, and probably by SVG and anything else influenced by PostScript.

You are describing (a,c,x,b,d,y). This is not often used because of the unexpected splitting of x,y.

Unfortunately I have also seen (a,c,b,d,x,y). Don't do that...

If it is possible to change this now without breaking any existing code it may be a good idea.
