Just use PDF, its open, it works, its resolution independent. (I use vector based editor to make my icons)

For file and application icons (shown in the finder), well, I haven't tried to use PDF, I always assumed it wanted icns files...

In my last tests (admittedly in an NSImage(View) where I combined several NSImages into one whole one, PDF was abysmally slow, though. Pixel formats have the advantage of rendering a lot faster (no surprise there). It's not that important for dynamic stuff like bounding boxes, but for more complex stuff like images I wouldn't yet recommend PDF. But try it out yourself. That was a while ago and I had to be backwards compatible with 10.3 -- YMMV.
