I've never seen icons 100x100 big. If you'd use those icons in real 
world icon size, say 32x32 or 16x16, they'll scale down without any loss 
for sure. But the bad thing is that won't be able read any details 
anymore or you have to guess what the icons meaning is.

On the other hand -  what do we need 900x900 icons? We have a defined 
icon size for the BE which is 18x16.

GIF should be good for everybody unless he needs more colors, then it's PNG.

To sum up: There's no need for vektors, we're not going to print icons 
on uge banners or flags.
