Hi, Max and Lachlan,
See:
{ min-width:25%; width: 20em }
{ min-width:20em; width: 25% }
are equal - min(x,y) == min(y,x) in Euclid geometry.
Considering that two other possible cases
{ min-width:25%; width: auto }
and
{ min-width:25%; width: 50% }
are *complete* nonsense I propose to remove percentage
from list of available units of min/max-widths.
