CSS transform translate absolutely
===

I have a bunch of children elements that are absolutely positioned in the parent container. I'd like to move some of them to a position relative to their parent container, only with CSS transforms. Is this possible? It seems that CSS translate can only do absolute distances.

The requirement to use CSS transform is because this is an animated transition, and I want the hardware acceleration to kick-in, which won't happen if left/top are used.

I can muck with the HTML markup.
