In the documentation it says that dpi will only be used by raster drivers and drivers which use real world units will ignore the dpi measurements. I don't know if svg or ps or pdf drivers actually use the dpi value at all, but given that statement in the docs then leaving it as dpi or using ppi might be a better description. In the API these variables are called xp and yp, which are not very descriptive This is somewhere it might be worth making a change, where I would suggest changing them to dpi or ppi.
