[cairo] Why 16bit coordinate space.

I was just wondering: why does Cairo limit it's coordinate space to
16bits.. that is +/- 32768 units?  I don't see why 32bit values are
not used.  I'm running into problems with my implementation of a
scroll-list because the scrollable area can be quite large.  I guess I
will have to come up with a hack to offset everything after a certain
increment.
