Your explanation makes perfect sense. So I go to test it... Yes, it 
works. Both super_L and super_R give mod3.

Now to commit to CVS, what would be a good key binding for the
increase/decrease iconsize? 
And BTW, now that we know how to use the super_L as a modifier, what
other keybinding with super_L would be useful?
