I don't care if it's true or not. Apple constantly has people digging for any scraps they leave lying around... which I think is just hilarious.
'course, here's hoping it's true!

Didn't Apple "slip" with the specs of the PowerMac G5, if I remember correctly? Could this be another indicator of what's to come...or just an "accident"?

Exactly. I too, immeditately thought of the G5 "slip-up." Apple got a lot of publicity out of that. I wouldn't put it past them doing it again.
However, html code is an odd place to put an "intentional" slip-up so I doubt that that's the case.
Who the hell reads html code just looking for this stuff?

I don't think it was a slip up. I think Steve said it was, "premature specification"

I think - and stay with me on this one - it might be because most people touch type and the number '4' is right next to the number '5'.
Seriously. Check on your keyboard, it's the same there.
