It appears that the x86 LiveCD ISOs have been maximized in size so that
they can _just_ fit on a standard CD.  However, the x64 ISOs simply
contain the same packages with the different arch, but are larger
(presumably due to compatibility libraries, binary size, and such). This makes them too large to fit on a single CD.

Yes. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora7/FAQ. They are live images and due to multilib support by default that x86_64 images are larger. The rationale is that x86_64 are likely to be affected if we remove multilib and those systems are likely to be more recent and hence have a DVD drive.

There has been some recent discussions in fedora-desktop list about changing this.
