[Bug 9776] Percentages for text positioning don't seem better than using the actual video dimensions. If you require integer percentages, then it doesn't work well for videos larger than 100px high. If not, then it's just an arbitrary resizing of the dimensions (sli from bugzilla@jessica.w3.org on 2010-09-25 (public-html-bugzilla@w3.org from September 2010)

What's the use case for precision to more than 1/100th of the video dimension?

We can't use pixels because it would mean that you couldn't use the same
subtitle file for different resolution versions of the same video (consider
e.g. YouTube videos which are often available in several sizes, but all have
just one subtitle track).
