[RC6] background-color-049 and background-color-054: fractional values

Arron,

rgb(1%, 1%, 1%) is computed as #020202 by IE8 and Chrome 23.0.1271.64
but as #030303 in Firefox 16.0.2, Firefox 19a1, Opera 12.10.

1% of 255 is 2.55: so again we have that familiar issue with fractions.

I fail to see how this test can be coded to work around such issue or
how this test can be rehabilitated.

rgb(99%, 99%, 99%) is computed as #FCFCFC (or rgb(252, 252, 252)) by
IE8, Opera 12.10, Firefox 16.0.2 and Firefox 19a1 but as #FDFDFD by
Chrome 23.0.1271.64.

These discrepancies are independent from operating systems.
I think both tests would have been reported as failures in automated
checking process.

Other tests with 1% or with 99% in a rgb() declaration are likely to be
also unreliable because of that.
eg
http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20110323/html4/background-color-070.htm

http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20110323/html4/background-color-075.htm

http://test.csswg.org/suites/css2.1/20110323/html4/background-color-090.htm

but also border-color, border-left-color, border-right-color,
border-bottom-color, color, outline-color tests
