I believe you are wrong. Here is the installation guide for Windows XP Home Edition:
http://www.microsoft.com/WINDOWSXP/home/using/howto/gettingstarted/guide/newinstallation.asp

It clearly states that the option exists to use NTFS as the file system in Windows XP Home Edition.

You may have misread the statement "One of the key benefits you’ll enjoy with Windows XP Professional is support for the NTFS file system." on the link you supplied as inference of a benefit the Professional version provides in comparision to the Home version. In fact, both editions provide support for NTFS- the statement refers to a comparison of Windows XP to the Windows 9X operating environments.
