It makes perfect sense. The PAE kernel allows for access of up to 64GB of RAM from a max of 4GB on 32 bit systems whose CPU's offer the PAE extension. Nothing to do with support of 32-bit v.s. 64-bit apps. If you mount the WS-32bit iso and then mount the squashfs under LiveOS and then mount the rootfs.img under LiveOS of the mounted squashfs you'd see....
