Sounds like it's just a modified port scanner...
Modified is the key word here. Port scanners don't have the ability to impersonate other protocols (a port scanner can send a packet to port 80, but it's not going to be an HTTP packet). This tool also seems to have some spoofing capabilities, though I'm not sure how that would work. We'll see...

Algonquin, IL		 yeah but is it really trying to do that, or just trying to find out if an ACL was blocking that port.

 The article only says "...or is being used for a certain type of application." That could be taken to mean by port number or by the packet signature. I'm guessing (though I don't know) that he meant the latter, since otherwise it would just be a port scanner like you said and hardly news. But we shall see.

Not terribly revolutionary at all. Pingplotter has similar options and has had them for awhile now:
