Ok, I agree that renderer-resolution is a good name if we need a
per-renderer setting for the resolution. But applying Adrian's patch
#43041 would leave the codebase in a strange situation where you have to
configure the AFP renderer through the renderer setting and the TIFF/PNG
renderers through target-resolution. And that just begs for confusion.

I guess I still have a problem where to draw the line between
target-resolution and renderer-resolution, for example when looking at
the PDF renderer.
