That depends on what "highest" means, though, highest number or highest power
(ie. lowest number).  The citation in Comment #71 says it's the latter, and I
think ACPI 1.0 also means that.

So, it would mean that for _S3D returning 3 we're supposed to put the device
into D3, for _S3D returning 2 we're supposed to put it into D2 or D3 and so on.

ACPI 3.0 clarifies it really nicely and I don't think they would've changed
something like this between versions ...
