CSS3 Values and Units defines a 'dppx' unit for <resolution>. http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-values/#resolution This bug is for implementing it. Note: This would implement the same functionality as the non-standard 'device-pixel-ratio' query added in bug 474356.

Note that there's currently a discussion about renaming 'dppx' to just 'x': http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012May/0915.html Sebastian

I've updated: https://developer-new.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS/Resolution who describes the <resolution> data type and https://developer-new.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Firefox_16_for_developers. (For the moment, until Kuma goes live in a few days, it isn't visible on the main wiki, only via the link given — later remove -new from the URL)

Can you also update our page on 'device-pixel-ratio' to show 'resolution: Ndppx' as the standardized alternative?

I've indicate the info on -moz-device-pixel-ratio in https://developer-new.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/CSS/Media_queries (with a link to your CSSWG article) Thanks for the hint. It was clearly needed.

I've update the |resolution| section too.
