Re: [w3c/uievents] MouseEvent.screenX/Y coordinate space id not clear (#150)

Looking at the history on that bug and roc's [thread](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Nov/0144.html) on www-style, it seems that we eventually aligned with Firefox on how `devicePixelRatio` should behave. That is, ctrl+/- does affect `devicePixelRatio`. I have tried this out and Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all share the same behavior. (according to www-style, IE did as well so I assume it still does)

I think the prevailing interpretation on the thread (which I agree with) is that ctrl+/- zoom and the zoom applied for high-dpi displays is effectively equivalent. Given that, I do think it's a bug that screenX/Y take into account one but not the other. I don't have a strong opinion on whether it should be in physical pixels  or in CSS pixels but it seems like a bug that we're treating DSF differently from ctrl+/- zoom.
