Re: [svgwg] Wrong description of percentage units

The Working Group just discussed `Wrong description of percentage units`.

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;krit> topic: Wrong description of percentage units<br>
&lt;krit> GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/406<br>
&lt;krit> krit: what is the issue?<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: more or less suggested working clarification<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: not sure if we can discuss on a call effectively<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: Percentage were relative to the viewport but should be viewBox according to the reported. But this may get messy. We should read the section and come up with suggestions to change it.<br>
&lt;krit> Tav: do we have tests for that?<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: no normative changes but clarifying things in a useful way<br>
&lt;krit> krit: the confusion is that viewport in SVG is something different than in CSS<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: We might need to change a lot in the spec to avoid using the same term in the SVG spec.<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: I thought Chris had a point how to clarify in the issue.<br>
&lt;krit> krit: reading the suggestion I do think that he makes a good point. Even without the viewport differences of CSS and SVG there are valid points.<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: Maybe we could clarify the introduction text to be more precise and remove the problematic statements in the paragraphs.<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: Specifically the paragraph about "SVG viewports can be nested." and here the 2nd sentence needs clarification.<br>
&lt;krit> s/2nd/3rd<br>
&lt;krit> s/2nd/3rd/<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: do ppl like the idea to trimming down the section? Then I could post a PR for others to look at.<br>
&lt;krit> Tav: ok<br>
&lt;krit> krit: sounds good<br>
&lt;krit> AmeliaBR: leave discussion on the bigger terminology to issue #519.<br>
