<padding-width>

The editors,

The XSL 1.1 draft Recommendation of 2004-12-16 includes, as a value type 
for the padding-* properties, <padding-width>.  This is nowher defined 
in the Recommendation.  In CSS2, in 8.4 Padding properties: 
'padding-top', 'padding-right', 'padding-bottom', 'padding-left', and 
'padding', it is defined as follows.

<quote>
The properties defined in this section refer to the <padding-width> 
value type, which may take one of the following values:

<length>
     Specifies a fixed width.
<percentage>
     The percentage is calculated with respect to the width of the 
generated box's containing block, even for 'padding-top' and 
'padding-bottom'.

Unlike margin properties, values for padding values cannot be negative. 
Like margin properties, percentage values for padding properties refer 
to the width of the generated box's containing block.
</quote>

Would it be possible to expand the "<padding-width>" into its components 
in each of the XSL padding-* property definitions?

Yours faithfully,
