They do that anyway on a high-dpi display that uses multiple device 
pixels per CSS pixel, no?  Except for scalable images, of course.

The canonical example here is printing: printing a bitmap image which is 
desined at screen resolution will produce worse output than printing a 
scalable one.  That's just life.
