That sentence is advisory, to note that if you only include smaller sizes,
Windows has to scale them up, and they look bad.  However, 32x32 is not a
"reference" size, and the first such entry found is not necessarily the best. 
The layout test is testing that the decoder selects the icon entries in order
of largest first, then highest bit depth first after that.  This is similar to
how Windows itself behaves, especially on newer versions like Vista and 7,
where the "typical" icon size is significantly larger than 32x32.

Note that for some applications (e.g. displaying favicons in a tab or session
history list), you probably want to be able to select a 16x16 icon.
