Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color] lch() function needs to use CSS types properly.

I agree on H (even though this will make things a tad more verbose). 
It is an angle, so it should be written as such, and whatever angular 
notation CSS has now or in the future should be OK.

I am less sure about L. It is a number between 0 and 100, so slapping 
on a % sign on it is tempting, but it is not the way it is usually 
written, and it feels wrong. 50% is normally synonymous with 0.5, and 
L=0.5 in common notation is an almost pitch black luminosity different
 from the middle luminosity of L=50.

If we were inventing the notion of Lab without context, I would agree 
with defining L as a percentage (or a number between 0 and 1). But 
we're not, we're discussing a notation for an per-existing concept, 
and as such, keeping the usual notation in place seems sensible.

But it really does look like a percentage though, so maybe I can be 
convinced otherwise...
