There is a significant difference between NPOV and "moral relativism",
Actually there isn't.
NPOV does not say this, but as a practical matter insists that no article be used to take a stand endorsing or opposing any values.
Not endorsing or opposing any values, because they are not absolute, is the fundamentalist moral relativist position.
Well, there is a difference between believing that there are no absolute values and believing that there might be absolute values, but that we cannot know which values are absolute.
I agree that in practice, both views may have same results.
