A /32 net mask is not used for used for regular routing interfaces. It has a specialized use, usually used for virtual interfaces. On a Cisco router, it would be used for a loopback interface. It is sometimes used as the subnet mask for an IP alias address on host systems (where all routing is done using the primary IP address).
If the WAN interface exists on a network block with another IP address, what is the subnet of that interface? If it doesn't what does it matter what the subnet is, as a subnet mask is really only relevant on an actual network.
