And as _I_ already hinted, this does not matter. The whole purpose to have a number here instead of a bit is to have a larger range. In practice, I bet that the 100% are really uninteresting. At least here, they are. For example, if you move a Java class from one package into another, you have to change the package name in the file. Guess what, I am perfectly okay if the rename detector says "100% similarity" here. Because if it is closer to 100% than to 99%, dammit, I want to see 100%, not 99%. Nuff said about this subject.
