You would think so, but that's not true. Design in points (1/72) and ship in points. I'm telling you, you're stuff is rendering at 1/96th, not native res. Try it out for yourself. Make two divs, specify one as 96px and the other as 72pt. See, same size, same size. Now think, if that were an image... Not native res, but yet it still looks right... Interesting.
Also, graphics are inherently bound to a fixed pixel size... so layouts often have to follow, if you don't want things getting out of whack at other pixel densities.
