I suspect the solution is both possible, and easier than you think. Likely 
it's constructed in similar fashion to web pages that size in pixels instead 
of characters (em/rem/ex) or fractions thereof. Dispensing with pixel values 
of more than a single digit for sizing anything other than bitmap images 
unleashes the natural adaptability of a display screen that doesn't apply to 
designing for paper.

I've filed the first one for you:

X forced DPI = 96 on displays natively > 96 DPI causes a11y issues
