"all desktop browsers ignore this spec and treat each pixel as a pixel"
That's not ignoring the spec, though, it's following it. Where the device pixel is close to the reference pixel (as it is, on desktop browsers), the px measurement is supposed to represent one device pixel. See the CSS 2.1 spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/syndata.html#length-units
