I thought I was sort of saying something similar... put it this  
way, in my originally made FW files that are saved (*not  
exported* to international standard formats), the squares and  
lines and text and other things I have made (as one does in  
Illustrator) seem to retain their vector qualities.  
 
I now know that they also appear the same whether exported or not  
in browsers (at least in Safari, FF, iCab, Opera and MacIE):
