[Xcb] Why are predefined atoms not static constants?

Hi!
I'm looking at xcb_atom.h, where I find e.g.
extern const xcb_atom_t PRIMARY;
What I'm wondering is why this isn't simply
static const xcb_atom_t PRIMARY = ...
I know, there are a bunch of reasons for either variant, I just wanted to ask
which of them were the reasons for doing things this way here. Can anyone
enlighten me?
Cheers!
Uli
