I can confirm myself that the above is not true. The following url has a
32x32 icon:
http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/pal4/icon28.png

But, since the scale halves the size of the icon that just got doubled
in size, it effectively stays the same and the positioning still works,
unless one uses a hotspot with a offset in pixels for that icon.

What is a wise thing to do here?
