I know that percent sizes don't work -- the problem is accurately
knowing when something is a percent sign and when it's the end of
the wikistyle.  (An unfortunate consequence of having chosen %'s
to delimit wikistyles.)  Getting %'s to be recognized properly
is going to be a pain but probably worth the effort in the long run.
I've been thinking that a workaround might be to convert "pct" into "%"
in wikistyles, so that one could do %width=50pct%

I didn't realize that fractional sizes (1.5ex) weren't working -- this
will be fixed for the next release.
