RE: % is not a valid unit for border-width

I guess I'm missing something...

Issue: I want to use <technology> in all browsers, but it's not available yet.
Proposal: Add <technology> via <new mechanism not yet specified>.
Counter: Why not use <technology> via <existing specified mechanism that is already agreed upon>?
Response: Because it's not supported in all browsers.

So...
Rather than push for getting all browsers to support an existing specified mechanism, it's preferred to start at zero in the spec process with a whole new mechanism?

Given that his reason for not wanting to use box-sizing was that it
wouldn't work in old browsers, I don't think calc() would help.  ^_^
