Nobody needs them?

In my experience, this is the second most requested feature that CSS 
developers wish IE would support.  (Support of CSS2 selectors, 
especially > and +, is the most requested.)  Consistent 
implementation of display: table* would make easy the one thing that 
is otherwise very difficult in CSS: vertical centering of a block of 
contents of an unknown height.  Most developers who need this feature 
currently just throw in an actual table and grit their teeth about 
screwing up the document structure.

Personally, I'll celebrate at least a little bit when MS finally sees 
the light on this one.
