Remember that eps is just a wrapper for a set of other formats. There is the 
postscript vector stuff that can be put in eps, but also jpeg, tiff, binairy 
images, all in RGB/CMYK/CLAB/Grayscale colorcodes and probably others. 
In short the format eps can contain more then we are able to process.

The user will not see from the file which kind it is (and you can even embed
one in another) so its probably safest to call it a bitmap; even if it can 
contain vector. In the real world not that many vector only eps-es are used..

The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new
