Re: <stop> offset type

Stephane,
The spec should describe the 'offset' attribute as being a 
<number>|<percentage>, not a <length>, since CSS units such as "in" or "cm" 
are not allowed. I'll make this change.

Given that, I think it is OK for the DOM to represent the attribute as an 
SVGAnimatedNumber, since there is a very easy mapping from percentages to 
fractions. At this late stage, I don't think the SVG group will want to 
change the DOM definition for this attribute.
