[CSS21] Why are browser default style values different from Appendix D

Hello,

I was just wondering why there is so much difference between browser default values and CSS 2.1 Default values.

I know Appendix D is non-normative, but since real world implementation is significantly different, would developers/browsers be interested in seeing these changes driven back in to the spec?
