I've missed most of this thread, which I think will be an advantage 
here, I'm looking at it from a front-end developer point of view.

My thought process would be: "The parent will be 100px tall, therefore 
the child must be 50px tall".

I would assume that the browser calculates the height of the parent and 
then makes the child 50% of that.

Does that help?
