OMG, September 17th!!!!! That would be last Thursday. How convenient. Thanks for finding this, Kevin, I needed a good laugh.
This is like the "We endorse MP4" statements a while back. When "officially endorses" and "officially supports" merge, that will be good. Adrian Bateman has posted many times about how sorry they are for not supporting CSS2 very well, let alone not doing CSS3. I honestly think the guy WANTS to support this stuff, but he's not being allowed to. That's just my reading between the lines. My favorite quote from this article was "which could mean that we might see them in whatever next version of Internet Explorer". Translation: We have no plans, but it might happen far off in the future. Maybe.
