Re: CSS: %% length unit. Proposal.

Hi, Anne,

Let's say we have layout like this:
|<--25%%-->|<--fixed:100px-->|<------75%%------>|

What formulas do you propose F1 and F2 to achieve the same?
|<---F1-->|<--fixed:100px-->|<-------F2-------->|

E.g.  it could be:
F1 = -100px + 50%  or  F1 = 50% - 100px

I mean   A + B != B + A in such formulas.
Don't expect different UA to render this in the same way - too many choices.
