Apple limits daisychaining of non-Apple displays in OS X

Rather than speculating on what Apple did internally, I think the real question is whether Apple advertises DisplayPort 1.2 support, since this feature is part of the DP 1.2 spec. So far I can't find anything about this on their product pages. If that's the case it's basically users demanding features that were never put into the specs of a product.

Then Apple is in trouble:

Mini DisplayPort Connector

The Mini DisplayPort Connector is a small form factor connector designed to fully support the VESA DisplayPort protocol. It is particularly useful on systems where space is at a premium, such as portable computers or to support multiple connectors on reduced height add-in cards.

It doesn't say which version though.

Mini DisplayPort started from 1.2 of the DisplayPort standard.
