Something has been standardized, actually:

http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-mediaqueries/#resolution

The following:

   @media (min-resolution: 2dppx) { ... }

is completely equivalent to:

   @media (min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) { ... }

if the dppx unit is not available, you can get the exact same result (if a  
bit less author friendly) with

@media (min-resolution: 192dpi) { ... }

The dppx / dpcm / dpi units are defined in terms of device pixel per CSS  
px / CSS cm / CSS inch, so that it would work.
