The standard is constantly in flux and IE has long dev, testing, beta and release candidate cycles because they need to be backward compatible for the sake of companies.
If IE9 implements it, there's a danger of people developing sites that implement workarounds and fixes and will break when the issues are fixed.(i.e back to ie6 days).
For the new features here is the labs version:

Is this some kind of joke? Usually if you bash MS and praise Apple/Google you get modded up real high. Say thing that can be construed as mildly positive to MS or midly negative to Apple and you'll not get upvotes or get downvoted. There are HN users who have quit HN for good because of this.
There are HN users who have quit HN in disgust because of this.
If you're getting downvoted for bashing MS, then you must be doing something wrong, like being way off base with your hate or something.

While I get carried away sometimes (Windows has improved a lot since my windows 2003 days, WP7 is neither "Vista Phone 7" nor "WinMo 7") I see very frequent downmods when I paint Microsoft technologies in unfavorable light, most of them occurring early in the morning PST (I live in GMT-3, so I post a lot before US west coast wakes up). Since I have been very active these days, most posts where this happened are buried deep in the threads pages and may take some time to unearth. To be fair, I also notice some backlash when I paint Apple in unfavorable colors too.
- recoiledsnake 16y agoWell, I've seen most posts/stories critical of MS going up highly. Not so for Apple comments/stories. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1800253 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1800253 http://mattmaroon.com/2010/11/23/i-quit-hacker-news/ http://mattmaroon.com/2010/11/23/i-quit-hacker-news/
- rbanffy 16y agoIt really depends. When I criticize Windows, its innards, .Net or C#, I get consistent downvotes. Less consistent when I criticize Sharepoint (which makes sense - nobody likes that monstrosity). Internet Explorer, OTOH, gets little love from everyone and seems even less popular than Sharepoint.
