you can also use the .multiply method of the transform type,
here is a small example of the fractal furn that uses the transforms of
elements to store transforms, them concat them, and use the x, y offset to plot
points.
so, I think the answer is yes!

Well you can include the set of primitive to draw in a group
(but not nest). This does add 2 char over the 'set' case but that
isn't bad ;)
<set transform=""/>[your primitives]
