 I have some questions concerning the property resolution when using epressions: What is the result of calling the function "max" (of the core function library) with percentage arguments ( e.g. max(100%,120%) ) when a) calling it while evaluating the font-size property b) calling it while evaluating the border-top-width property I observe in the first Note in section 5.11 that a <percentage> value that is not interpreted as "auto" is a valid <length> value. Section 5.10.1 states that both arguments to max() must have the same unit power, which is true for two <length> arguments because they have a unit power of one. The font-size= property is inherited, so the resulting length would be relative to the inherited font-size value. The border-top-width= property is not inherited, but the specification does not allow the percentage data type to be used for this property. Where percentages are allowed for non-inherited properties, explicit documentation covers the interpretation of what a percentage means. So I'm assuming that for font-size= you would get 1.2em and for border-top-width it would be ignored or throw an error. But I'm only a stylesheet writer, not an engine implementer, so it might be best to hear definitively from a member of the committee. I hope this helps. ............................
