Hi all
Last night I committed a tweak to resolve percentages for line-height
early, when parsed. This became possible after a previous change in
which I made sure that percentages for font-size are also resolved
early.
The benefit, as mentioned in the commit message: a reduction of the
amount of non-cacheable PercentLength instances, replaced by cached
FixedLengths. A small tweak, since I don't think it saves all that
much. Then again, every little bit helps...
Now while going over it again, and trying to do the same for
background-position, I noticed that there is currently a testcase --
IIRC, one I added myself when implementing the background-position
shorthand-- where a specified value of "0.5" is expected to yield a
percentage... After my changes, it yields an absolute value of 500mpt.
So I re-read the Rec on this one, and it seems the first
interpretation is wrong. If I take the spec literally, then a value
of "0.5" would actually be a length (and thus equal to "0.5px"), so
the 500mpt is correct (when using the default source resolution of
72dpi).
Before I commit, I thought I'd check to see if anyone disagrees with
the above behavior.
Cheers
