Sorry, I think it's too late.  %% for WikiStyles is probably too 
embedded into the current PmWiki installation base for us to reasonably 
change the style syntax, at least not without a major revision number.  
We might be able to introduce an alternate syntax, or fix the processing
such that one could do %define=mybigfont font-size=200pct%  and have
the pct be converted to '%', or a variety of things.
