Seconded.  When I first read Mark's post I was wary of "picture", but on 
further reflection I remembered Apple's PICT file/data type, distinct 
from PNTG as the latter was exclusively bitmap data but PICT could 
contain a mix of vectors and bitmaps.

If it's good enough for Apple, it's good enough for me.
