This makes perfect sense, and it seems that the article spends most of its time "selling" vector.
As a designer, I ALWAYS start with vector (usually an Illustrator file).
No need to sell it to me, but I'd gently suggest using existing vector formats, like SVG.
That said, most operating systems don't support the use case described. It would be nice if they did. That may be coming, but for now, we are stuck with BitMap. I'm glad that I don't need to use the damn .ico files anymore for Web sites.
