You're missing the point - if it's a fundamental architecture flaw that cannot be fixed, then Silverlight in its current (beta) form suffers from the same problems.

    You typically don't rush out fixes for beta 
    versions of products
You can find fixes of open-source projects as soon as they are committed.

Microsoft made a bold claim, people are curious about how they fixed Silverlight if indeed they did that. If not a new Silverlight release, than at least write some kind of blog post explaining what's different in Silverlight.

But I'd bet this is typical of Microsoft; right hand, meet left hand, please communicate :)

That might be relevant if it wasn't for the fact that Silverlight is not open source. They are under no obligation to show/blog their fix until they actually release. In fact, they would probably want to withhold it as long as possible if their intent is to damage WebGL.
