Unfortunately, redefining "px" from its original meaning as "device pixels" to a new meaning of "probably one 96th of an inch except on mobile browsers where ..." means that CSS no longer has any way to express "device pixels".

What are the use cases for expressing "device pixels" in a world of widely varying (both across devices and in time) device pixel densities?
