In most cases, '%' is an incremental change. Eg, <mstyle fontsize='20pt'> <mi fontsize='50%'> x </mi> </mstyle> The 'x' would be rendered in 10pt. mstyle is used to override default and inherited values. Anytime a percentage refers to the inherited value (which might be inherited from some global default such as a possible operator dictionary), then mstyle can be used to change the value that is inherited, and hence the value used by the '%'.
