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,

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
