Typically they > resolve to 'auto' or something equivalent for the property. In the case of a shape, there's no "auto" thing. The shape defines the zone where the content goes, and the amount of room the content needs to be displayed defines the height of the element. If the shape depends on the height of the element, there's no efficient algorithm that will predict you which size (if any) would allow you to respect both the shape and the content-fit constraints. In the current spec, the behavior of percentages is not described but in webkit/blink, the behavior is that ALL percentages are resolved to zero when the object is auto-height, even width-related percentages. I would like to lift this restriction for the direction which is not auto-sized.
