How about:
%p -- print Top, Bot, All, or how far through the buffer the window
is (in percent). This is 100 * A / (A + B), where A is the number
bytes above the window, B the number below it.

Hmmm. :-) If so, than %p + %P = 100% (modulo rounding errors), and %P
is kind of redundant. So, for backwards compatibility, %p and %P should
remain unchanged, and 100 * A / (A + B) should be attached to a new
%-construct, say %v. (Why %v? Why not? It's reminiscent of C-v, and
%M-v.)
