I've added <progress> to the draft too.
At the moment I support a range of "%" characters in the body of the

<progress>5%</progress>
<meter>50&x2030;</meter>
...etc. This seems to be a good thing to me. However, I currently also say
that these work in the "value" attribute. I'm thinking that we should make
"value" be purely a floating point number. This would dramatically
simplify the processing model and would also let the DOM attributes simply
reflect the content attributes -- right now I'm not sure how to do the DOM
attribute of "value" because of this.
What do people think? Is it valuable to be able to do:
<progress value="5%"/>
how about a "%" indicates a percentage from 0 to 100. if the % is
missing then assume a fraction so:
<progress value="0.4375"></progress>
<progress value="43.75%"></progress>
are the same as far as DOM and scripting are concerned, for both:
element.value == 0.4375;
<progress value="43.75"></progress>
would render as "100%" as it is greater than 1.0, the maximum fractional
amount
...instead of either of these:
<progress value="0.05"/>
<progress>5%</progress>
...?
