Just like in CSS. Except that no browser implements it correctly, some  
have tried and succeeded within certain limitations (Gecko), others  
have acknowledged the bug but refuse to fix it (WebKit). If you decide  
to go that way, please make sure that it doesn't end up like CSS  
(where developers assume 96DPI no matter what).
