Also consider that when you talk about Concealed Combustible construction there are many exceptions only one of which is as follows:
8.15.1.2.9 Concealed spaces over isolated small rooms not exceeding 55 ft2 (5.1 m2) in area shall not require sprinkler protection. If you're not requiring protection over rooms 55 SF or less, this could very well be the origin of the 55 SF. Thom McMahon, SET Firetech, Inc. 2560 Copper Ridge Dr P.O.

Russell, its all political. They took a standard bathroom 5' x 8' tacked on a few feet extra and said if you exceed 55 s.f. than it must be sprinklered.
