For Firefox (32bit) from fedora.us I needed no special libs from iX86 on x86_64.
You'd be mistaken. It will need a whole bunch of i.86 libs: glibc, various X related libraries, freetype, various GTK related libs, libstdc++.
Maybe I should have laid out my meaning of "special" here a bit more exactly. We mean the same ;-)

Yes, often, this is annoying. QT had such a problem also IIRC. Was hard to get a 32bit xine run on an 64bit FC2 (now there are 64bit xine available at livna.org this is easier again)... But I don't think /usr/ bin64 or something like that is specified somewhere (LSB)? Maybe this could be solved by /usr/bin/qtconfig-32 /usr/bin/qtconfig-64 and a script or link that points to the right Version?
bin64 is the only sane way really.
Is it specified somewhere or is it you opinion? /usr/lib64 is specified AFAIK and also used by other distros.
/usr/bin64 is not and nobody uses it until now (both AFAIK) -- google only returns 5 results. One of them:

I think nobody really want a special fedora(-island)-solution in this area, or? I don't want one...
