No, it is important for proportions to be maintained. If you wanted to ensure your image resolution was taking advantage of the increased resoltion of the device when zoomed in on the css pixels, you'd have to use a higher resolution image, without changing the css width and height values. I've actually done that sort of thing before (more pixels in image than what the width and height indicated in px), in order to get high resolution printing. It worked really well (it was 1-bit images that downloaded quickly). But you could also use media queries to provide different images for different screen resolutions if you want.
