We had decided to match the CSS definition of `<length>` with the one exception that in a presentation attribute, only, a unitless number is always allowed as an alternative to a length or an angle. That is defined in the [value syntax section](https://svgwg.org/svg2-draft/types.html#syntax) (after Annotation 1, starts "When a presentation attribute…"). For properties from SVG 1.1 that allowed unitless numbers even in CSS syntax (like `stroke-width`), the syntax has been changed to expressly allow a number instead of a length. I'm pretty sure @nikosandronikos did a clean-up of most of the presentation attributes to match the stricter syntax. For the geometry properties, which were only simple attributes in SVG 1.1, it is intentional that the CSS syntax does not include unitless numbers. Unitless number will still be valid in the attribute, but the CSS form requires explicit length units (or percentage). This is consistent with how properties like font-size and letter-spacing have always behaved. Given all that, it looks like **the geometric attributes for paint servers still need to be corrected to accept percentages**. Are there any other places that require editing? -- GitHub Notification of comment by AmeliaBR Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/222#issuecomment-238061816 using your GitHub account
