What are you thinking about specifically? I suspect that there are fewer of them than it seems, and many domestic partnership laws are doing a lot to balance out the few that exist. What is it that bugs you?
ETA: When I mentioned them earlier, I was thinking mainly in terms of next of kin and assumptions about beneficiaries and heirs, which you can probably legally set up for non-married folks. My guess was that the family in the article probably wouldn't have though.
