The ST qualifier is for wax stains not the typical water stains you would think. Many submitters remove wax stains with nylon before submitting, but if there is still residue remaining, the card would still receive the qualifier.
The point with most qualifiers is to point out a defect on the card you may miss after a quick glance.
