I would think so.  Given real numbers A, B:

   min(Apx, Bpx) == min(A,B)*1px
   min(A%, B%) == min(A, B)*1%

and similar for max.  So given min/max on <number> you can produce all 
the same behavior that you can produce with min/max on lengths.  You 
just have to jump through a tiny (or is it large, since the jump is 
easy?) hoop.
