Re: Can space-before, et al be specified as a percentage-range?

Add an explicit statement under the definitions of <length-range>
and <space> which states:

If a property allows:

<length>, <percentage>, and
<length-range>

or

<length>, <percentage>, and
<space>

then any/all of the .minimum, .optimum, .maximum components of
length-range or space-specifier may be expressed as either a length or as
a percentage.

And add a similar statement to the definition of
<length-conditional>.

We would need to evaluate those properties allowing any of the
above which also specify a value of "auto".

We certainly intended this for leader-length; since we default
min, opt to values in points and max to 100%.

Can space-before, et al be specified as a percentage-range?

This was sent to me by one of our developers:

Section 5.11:

"space-before.within-colums" should be "space-before.within-column"

-and-

<length-range> is specified as minimum, optimum and maximum all

being type <length>. These can be type <percentage> or the token

"auto" also (see "block-progression-dimension").

For the second issue, I think the general question is:

Can a <length-range> accept percentage values, or must they be actual

lengths.

My thinking is:

We should allow percentages if the property will accept a percentage

as a single/simple value.
