Image stabilization on a fast 17-55 lens makes no sense though.
That's silly, have you ever used a short focal length IS lens? Fantastic. A fast one would be even better.
Totally agree with coffeshakes. The assumption that fast lenses are only used wide open flies in the face of actual use. I can think of many situations where I would want to shoot at F16 for DOF but the resulting slow shutter speed mandates either a tripod or IS. Being able to open the lens up to keep the shutter speed up to stop action on the same lens would be a marvelous plus. Just look at how many people are wishing that the new 24-105 F4 IS were a 2.8.
