Yes, this is my understanding of what the percentages mean, it also
seems to me to be what is described by the documentation at
http://www.htmlhelp.com/. It applies to the HTML <IMG> as well:-
Authors can also specify different dimensions for the WIDTH and
HEIGHT attributes, in which case browsers should scale the image.
Percentages, relative to the horizontal or vertical space available
(not relative to the image's natural size) can also be specified,
though these are not as widely supported as pixel lengths.
Note that "not relative to the image's natural size"!
