All the kernel DLL's are 100% 64bit PE files - you can see it yourself if you analyze them with any PE-analyzer.
As a former system programmer, I can assure you that it's impossible to have a 16bit code in 32bit PE executable/DLL, and the same applies to 32bit and 64bit. You can't have 32bit code in 64bit library, because the same machine code will work different according to the memory model it's working in. E.g. a simple asm instruction "mov ax, bx" has a same machine code as "mov eax, ebx" but works different in different memory models.
BTW, XP64 wasn't build on XP32. It's a follower of MS Windows Server OS line.

Thanks, i'm not a programmer so i did not know all this, all i know is that where i work, they did not and will not start using XP64 because it was so poor, and i was told it was a hoodie solution, but i know that is not the case.
Still I could never go back - ones you've taken a week to learn to know Vista and all the little things, you simple can't go back when working, at least in what i'm working with!
