It's been my understanding that a simple wire antenna, or vertical 
doesn't care if it's resonant or not, nor does the antenna care if it's 
reactive or not.

You tune out the reactance and match the impedance to get maximum power 
into the antenna.  I'm neglecting phasing and directivity due to to the 
antenna length Vs wavelength, but even then the antenna will work just 
fine not being resonant.
