While true, it has become a poor definition in my opinion as we generally no longer deal with analog signals. Since digital has a well defined number of horizontal pixels, simply refering to lines doesn't give the whole picture anymore (perhaps it never did in analog systems either).
As 720p and 1080p are generally defined as 1280x720 and 1920x1080 respectively, I don't think it is unreasonable for people to think when it says 1080p on the box that it actually does 1920x1080.
