This says it applies to Macbook Pro with a Retina display: If the requestedDisplayResolution element is nested in the initialWindow element, it applies to desktop AIR applications on MacBook Pro computers that support high-resolution displays. [1]
It other words this setting does not apply to application or device that is not, "desktop AIR applications on MacBook Pro computers that support high-resolution displays". It should be OK to default to high but we should do some tests (no retina display here) and wait to hear back from the AIR team. Note: At some point in the future other OSs could support high res displays if they don't already.
