Both of these are required for a well-behaved Mac application. The 
following is taken from the Aqua Human Interface Guidelines at 
http://xrl.us/dv3a (emphasis mine)

"Your application should open a window when a user does any of the 
following:
     * Double-clicks the icon for a document supported by your 
application in the Finder
--> * Double-clicks your application icon
     * Selects a document in the Finder and chooses open from the File 
menu (or selects the document and presses Command-O in the Finder)
     * Chooses a file from within an Open dialog
     * Chooses the New command from the File menu
--> * Clicks the application icon in the Dock when no windows are open"
