Description
We just resolved in https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2165 to make percentages be relative to the current font size (like ems, but not computing to an absolute length for inheritance). That means we need a different syntax to represent a length proportional to the width of a space (that inherits as a proportion).
