Actually, if the browser uses CSS, then the pixels of a raster image have the size of a 'px', not a device pixel. (That's not clear in the current specification, but the WG decided to put it in the errata[1]. At some point we will publish a new CR with the errata folded in, or maybe we'll publish a Rec first and put the errata in the second revision, CSS 2.2...)
