While all new computers will be 64bit, a multitude of older hardware is
32bit ONLY.
For example ALL of my servers and laptops are. My main laptop is an
Apple Macbook from 2006
Beauty of linux is that it still runs reasonably fast on older hardware
while you always need latest hardware for OSX

For non-technical user, if 32-bit is the default image, the may wonder why

Then how do you explain they need 64 bit install media?
How about developing a small Windows
A Java applet on the Kubuntu download site could help the users by determening
what system they have 32 or 64 bit. But this assumes that they have Java
installed.
Also there are JavaScript ways to do this:

AFAIK generic kernel has PAE enabled

My gut feeling is that most people have 64 bit computers now and I
trust the foundation team to have done the legwork to verify that.

+1 for 64-bit.
AMD starts 64-bit from K8 on 2003, Intel starts 64-bit on Core 2 and
Pentium D (i.e. 2005).
I think the only 32-bit x86 cpu is 1st generation Atom, which should be
very few in the market. New Atom cpu has 64-bit support.
Let's move to 64-bit and give a prompt like this: use
