AF 447 was an Airbus, for which ACARS MX data-bursts are factory standard. For everyone else they're not.

Many others have different vested interests, though all are saddened by this likely even.
Security in KLIA will pray that it was not terrorism.
The airline will pray that it was not pilot or company error.
The manufacturer will pray that it was not equipment failure.
The list goes on.

I also doubt any Chinese dissidents would blow up a non-chinese airliner...they prefer the moral support of the global community.
