(Get the code!)
I actually came across a blog entry by Matthew Garret ( redhat kernel guru ) today pleading to hardware vendors not to release 32 bit uefi only systems where he states the same thing:

I looked over the UEFI specs a bit today too and came to the conclusion that it is technically possible for a UEFI firmware to support both 32 and 64 bit, I would be difficult with no real gain so I would be very surprised to see anyone do it. After all, the target platform of choice ( Windows ) only supports UEFI on the 64 bit release and 32 bit operating systems can boot just fine in legacy mode so there just isn't any incentive to make a dual arch firmware.
