It's what the file represents, in this case, an image comprised of pixels,
that is important, and I believe the types of files we are talking about
here are pixel based.  If you use a hammer as a paperweight, is it still a
hammer?

Of course, you can convert the image to something that is "dot" based, and
then save it.  I thought you meant that there was a "dots" option in PS
somewhere for saving a typical grayscale or RGB image file.  Sorry, my
misunderstanding.
