/**
 *  The CSSPrimitiveValue interface represents a single CSS value
 * . This interface may be used to determine the value of a specific style
 * property currently set in a block or to set a specific style property
 * explicitly within the block. An instance of this interface might be
 * obtained from the getPropertyCSSValue method of the
 * CSSStyleDeclaration interface. A
 * CSSPrimitiveValue object only occurs in a context of a CSS
 * property.
 * 
 Conversions are allowed between absolute values (from millimeters to
 * centimeters, from degrees to radians, and so on) but not between relative
 * values. (For example, a pixel value cannot be converted to a centimeter
 * value.) Percentage values can't be converted since they are relative to
 * the parent value (or another property value). There is one exception for
 * color percentage values: since a color percentage value is relative to
 * the range 0-255, a color percentage value can be converted to a number;
 * (see also the RGBColor interface).
 *
