Area totals (or cell counts) are done by category. In other words: all 
cells with a given category are summed up to give the total cell count, 
area then just being cell count * resolution^2.

It thus does not make sens to provide coordinates for count or area: 
which coordinates would you use if you have cells with the same category 
all over your map ?

AFAIK, coordinates are only available for individual cells, so you can 
export coordinates with their cat value for further treatment.
