David,  if the requirement is a direct Vcc connection then you are probably 
dealing with a power pin and need to make the direct connection.  If an 
application note only suggests a direct connection for a logic input, that 
suggestion, not requirement, is probably to save you cost and area for the 
pull-up / pull-down resistor.  Saving the resisotr is fine, if it doesn't 
cause headaches for mfg. test by depriving them the ability to exercise the 
pin.
