I guess I've already covered the design-philosophy issues in other postings, and Brian covered most of the things I would have said in response to your questions. The main things to do are to make sure that the "sized" formats are respected as closely as possible, and to expose all the formats that the hardware can actually support. In cases where the choice of format is ambiguous, there's no perfect answer, but you'll confuse fewer apps if you favor the higher-resolution formats. Games tend to be written with specific hardware platforms in mind, so they're rarely confused. Other apps tend to prefer high resolution. Current and future hardware suffers a lot less performance penality from higher resolutions than previous-generation hardware, so that's the target to aim for.
