The most detail you can get is the level of detail the printer left on 
the paper about 100+ years ago, minus the paper degradation.

A "sensible" resolution does not depend on the rendering device and so 
could be established once for ever.

We could require producers to provide images in a "sensible" resolution, 
and rescale them on the server for user consumption, but not with the 
present hardware budget and not without changing the WWers' workflow.
