One stylesheet can be easily reused for pixel-perfect 1x/2x layout,

Apart from it possibly being a self-fulfilling prophecy – isn't this
too much premature “optimization” ?
I think we can safely assume that authors will always want to prepare as
few assets and stylesheets as they can, and will prefer integer units to
fractional ones (1px line vs 1.3333px line).
I don't see the big problem, I think the spec is fine here. Yes it allows
for putting a float there, but authors won't use it, so what's the
problem? The spec already say you should use the number to calculate the
correct intrinsic size, and the implementation will know what to do with a
float number there if someone finds an actual use for it.
This isn't limiting it for the sake of making anything easier, it's not
like "the x is an integer" is any easier than "the x is a float". And if
you *do* somehow find a good use for it down the line (and I believe there
might be, maybe 0.5x) it'll be there and work. No harm. :)
