I mean quasi-physical pixels, i.e., PAR pixels in the DAR space.

Consider that all SAR pixels (pixels in the sample space) are square, then
PAR scales such square (logical) pixel to a possibly non-square DAR pixel
(pixels in the output space). Since we use "physical" in PAR, then when I
refer to physical pixels here I am referring to whatever output pixels are
produced by TTML rendering. These are quasi-physical in the sense that the
still need to be mapped (possibly multiple times) to an eventual dot
pattern on a physical display.

Agreed. It is redundant to include "and PAR" in that cited text.
