Is there something I'm missing here? Perhaps the size is measured laying directly across the screen, which would add an inch or so due to the curve of the face.

Where are you? US, Canada or Europe? All have their own conventions for viewable area. Some even require the square viewable area to be stated.
US - it's the diagonal viewable area, as defined by US Code from 1967, first used in 1968 model adverts.
Canada/Europe - I honestly don't know.
A80 CRTs in the US are 32", A63 is 25", and A91 is 36". Rounding is allowed.
