No thanks!  TeX has got to be device-independent, if you're planning
to use if for serious 2000dpi typesetting, with proofs at 300dpi and
previews as low as 72dpi.  TeX does a pretty decent job of placing
text where you want it, it's the device drivers that often can't cope.
The TeX divice driver standards committee should (hopefully) sort that
out, although the number of current drivers that would get the seal of
approval is probably horribly small...
