Re: Specyfing paths with percentages unit.

> I want to draw a simple path, but using percentages as units.

By looking into path data [1] and specially it's associated BNF [2],
it looks as only relative or absolute coordinates (that is, values in
user coordinate system) can be used - percentages don't seem to be
possible here.

The line element [3] uses a more broad coordinate [4] meaning. I'm not
sure if this is a specification issue, though... :-|

Yahoo's SVG Developers group [5] is more appropriate for general SVG
questions. ;-)
