To be more specific, the suggestion to remove mention of percentage intrinsic widths was made in <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Nov/0077.html>, discussed at the following telcon <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Nov/0249.html> and decided at the following telcon <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Nov/0264.html>. The relevant section of SVG 1.1 Second Edition notes is <http://dev.w3.org/SVG/profiles/1.1F2/master/coords.html#IntrinsicSizing>. It explains how percentage values in @width/@height do *not* provide an intrinsic width or height for the image; they merely affect the size of the <svg> element within the image after the image's size has been negotiated. Opera's (and I guess IE9's) behavior is correct here, but as far as CSS is concerned, the bullet is always a 1em square in every example you provided. SVG just draws within that square in different ways. ~TJ
