L in lch and lab is indeed a number in the range 0 to 100 (except some currently rare high dynamic range applications, where I have seen L as high as 400). I didn't specify it as a percentage, because it is never given as a percentage anywhere lab or lch is used. Thus, I valued compatibility with existing usage. I can see usability issues if the percent sign is required, as people will forget to add it. I don't strongly oppose percent, but wanted to document the reasons for the original design decision. I can see Tab's point that commas are not needed for unambiguous parsing. I do think that comma to separate color ags from alpha is more readable. Attempting to unify lab and lch would be confusing and a regressive step. The self-documenting names and compatibility with existing practice is, as Tab says, a good thing. -- GitHub Notification of comment by svgeesus Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/272#issuecomment-231573971 using your GitHub account
