No one brought this up during the meeting, and I find it compelling: we can't strip users of power they *currently have* to make the web personally accessible. Priority of Constituencies, etc.

> It would be convenient to support percentages

Yes, good point. The conversation around scaling and zooming *is* frequently in terms of % (e.g. WCAG literally uses %). This is a new point that wasn't raised in the meeting. Limiting to `px` values only was probably a mistake. If we don't follow up with supporting more units or sophisticated expressions akin to what iank and florian discussed in the meeting, we should probably at least allow %.
