    Hi Matt,

    I would say probably "95%". Just because there is such an
    example in the spec (in the main description of alt-trans
    (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xliff/documents/xliff-
    specification.htm#alt-trans).
    
    You are right value is not really defined, we probably need
    to make this more clear for interoperability.
    
    Cheers,
    -yves

    Extract from current 1.1 spec
    
    match-quality
    
    Match quality - The match quality of the <alt-trans>
    <http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xliff/documents/cs-xli
    ff-core-1.1-20031031.htm#alt-trans>  element is tool
    specific and can be a score expressed in percentage or an
    arbitrary value (e.g. match-quality="high").

    I want to represent match quality as a percentage
    
    Do I say: 
    
        match-quality="95%"
    
    or 
    
        match-quality="95"
    
    Or should this not matter
