cool. There are still some bugs with mixing clip and transform. I will look at 
that tomorrow with Vincent at the ApacheCon :)

So, we put in place some association tables in the BridgeContext (that should 
be used to perform animation).

I think , you can use a small hack that :

1/ use document.getElementbyID() on the DOM
2/ use the methode getGraphicsNode(Element) on the bridge to get the 
   associated GraphicsNode.

Hope it helps,
Thierry.
