We just need to have variable raster export resolution control and have
something higher than OO's fixed max, which is currently about 2048x2048. 
Personally, I don't care what it is called (res, dpi, lpi, ppi), as long as it
rasterizes at something the user specifies.  It does seem that "ppi" is the most
logical name, however.  To me, an export is printer-irrelevent.  If I wanted to
print it from OpenOffice, I would use the print function.  Shouldn't matter
which printers I have defined or available in OO for the export function.

I think in total resolution of my output, so for me, I want to know I am getting
1600x1200 or 3200x2400 or whatever.  When exporting, DPI/PPI/LPI really means
that if I am exporting at 600DPI, for example, then my 8x10" page (from page
format in OO Draw) will result in a 4800x6000 jpg or png (or whatever), which is
not currently possible.

The mockup is OK, and placing it in page format kinda makes sense (as long as
the export filters honor it).  Only thing I would change is to rename it from
"resolution" to "export resolution", because it might otherwise confuse people.
 It doesn't change anything when printing or viewing or saving or anything else
except for rasterized export.

I don't know where the rasterization occurs.  Does the export filter do it?  Or
is it done by OO internally and the result is passed to the filter for
post-processing?  I suspect it is internal to OO, because that is why we are
hitting a consistent upper size limit.  If this is the case, then there is a
single, internal rasterization routine that will need to be modified to allow it
to become much bigger when necessary (warning: this could eat up a LOT of RAM...
might be a good idea to have it also honor some max RAM setting in 
Tools->Options).

If one challenge is the necessity to modify all the filters- I would suggest
concentrating first (or even only) on the only two that will matter the most to
most people- jpg and png, and worry about the others later.
