It's a useful compromise for the OS to make, but does not belong in CSS. If I'm running on a non-native resolution, I expect the image containers to scale on websites to fit the images, which they won't if the browser overrides my 1.4 pixel pixels.

Whatever did happen to screen pixels, anyway? Did non-native resolutions die with CRT screens? It's nice to have a unit for 0.27 mm-ish, but I'd really have more use for a pixel.
