I'm not arguing that vector graphics isn't useful. I'm arguing that it's 
not useful *for photographs*.

Now, if you were trying to present a Dilbert strip, a vector tracing of 
it would probably 1) take up a fraction of the bandwidth, and 2) look 
great at any possible resolution (if it's been traced well). Vector 
graphics is fantastic for stuff like that.

But for a photograph... well, see for yourself. The image quality is 
nowhere near what the original photograph was, and that's *before* you 
try to change size...
