CSS Support Could Be IE7's Weakest Link

Ritalin16 writes "Many web developers may be disappointed to hear that Microsoft decided to hold off on full CSS2 support with IE 7.0. As said by Microsoft-Watch: 'One partner said that Microsoft considers CSS2 to be a flawed standard and that the company is waiting for a later point release, such as CSS2.1 or CSS3, before throwing its complete support behind it.'" More commentary available from ZDNet. Generally related to the IE 7 Acid Test thrown down by Opera.

    The parent point is 100% accurate true fact. Why is pointing out what is an inarguable truth "flamebait"?

    How the fuck is talking about Slashdot's lack of web standards in a story about web standards off topic?

    Would the person who modded the parent down like to explain their actions?

    Or shall we assume it was an editor and that no explanation will be forthcoming?
