hi,
the usb spec actually has 3 receivers,
1 differential where it is required to have a large common mode range,
0-vdd for all intensive purposes, though the gain can go down at the extremes.
2 single ended receivers to monitor for the SE0 case.
The core logic needs to be able to filter out differential SE0 glitches as it
stands so I don't think that this is really a reason for the edge rate
matching spec.

This is probably the main reason.....
