There is nothing special about percentage heights in this respect.  If 
you are seeing a problem, its an implementation problem, so should be 
taken up using the individual "vendor" support channels, not here. 
Implementation problems are only relevant here when a requirement is 
fundamentally unimplimentable, or implementation cost would be 
excessive. (In general un-implementablility, or simple failure to 
implement will probably result in deletion of capabilities in later 
specifications.)

If you believe that current CSS specifications actually mandate the 
behaviour that you are seeing, or are ambiguous in a way that could 
imply this behaviour is valid, please give specific references to what 
is wrong with the documents, and, if possible, indicate how the document 
could be fixed.

that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
