/**
* The <code>CSSPrimitiveValue</code> 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 <code>getPropertyCSSValue</code> method of the
* <code>CSSStyleDeclaration</code> interface. A
* <code>CSSPrimitiveValue</code> object only occurs in a context of a CSS
* property.
* <p> 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 <code>RGBColor</code> interface).
* <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Style-20001113'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Style Specification</a>.
