While that's overwhelmingly most common, it's far from universal. e.g. IE
users running 120 DPI have 20px, and who knows how many px make the default
size on a Blackberry or other handheld device's UA.

All IE users, regardless of DPI, have 12pt logical, unless they've changed
it. At 144 DPI, they get 24px; at 192 DPI, 32px. There are other browsers
that also have a default sized in pt that varies with DPI, just like all
common word processing applications. There are also browsers in which the
default is not directly configurable, instead inherited from the general
application font size set in their DTE, typically 10pt or 11pt nominal by
default.
