That's great, but I think you should also specify that the
width/height/devicePixelRatio all change in the same task that dispatches
the resize event so authors can't see an inconsistent combination.  I.e. if
I'm at 100x100 @ page zoom of 1.0 and then invoke my browser's page zoom UI
to go to a page zoom of 2.0 while the page is actively polling these
values, it should only ever see 100/100/1.0 until the resize event fires at
which point it should only see 50/50/2.0.
