Test-case: data:text/html,<div style="height:100;width:100;background:gold"></div> In IE10 Developer Preview, Firefox 13.0a1, Chrome 18 dev, and Opera Next 12.00 alpha, "100" is interpreted as "100px" and you see a gold box. If you add <!doctype html>, the box vanishes, because "100" is a parse error. This quirk is interoperably implemented and seems to apply to all properties that accept a length, so it needs to be documented somewhere. Values and Units seems like the right place. The effect for properties that accept both <length> and <number>, like line-height, needs to be called out explicitly. There are probably other quirks like this too. For instance: data:text/html,<div style="background:00ff00; height:100;width:100"></div> This displays a lime box in IE, Chrome, and Opera, although not Firefox. This also needs to be standardized one way or the other.
