It's not water at those temps, also:
>What Fei and his colleagues have now done is to infer high water content throughout the mantle transition zone through lab experiments on synthetic rocks used to model those typically found in that layer, as well as the one below.
Not only did the article not support any claim that there is mostly water under the crust (1~2% of mass is nothing), but it is a very rudimentary basis for a testing hypotheses.
