Just to be clear, it may be transiently typical that a 1280x800 10" tablet
is mdpi, but it won't stay that way for long.

The *only* good reason I know of to use a screen size qualifier with a
drawable resource is if for some reason you want graphics to be slightly
bigger on a larger screen.  And for whatever reason you are doing that, you
should *always* still specify the density the drawable is for.

Actually, maybe it is time for aapt to start reporting errors if it is
given drawables that don't have a density qualifier.
