While I agree that a 2D API doesn't sound like something that needs to be in the standard library, it sounds to me like they're just basing the API on Cairo's and not necessarily forcing everyone to use Cairo bindings. Individual standard library vendors would be free to implement that API any way they like, just like video card vendors have their own unique, yet consistent OpenGL implementations.
