I thought it did stack but I may be wrong.
ed stands for enhancement diversification which basicly means you can't put more than 3 of the same SO enhancements in the same power without very poor results. many people complain about it but if you are new it will not be a big deal to you.

Regarding ED: I wrote up a nice article on the City of Heroes site on what exactly ED is and how it works. Take a look here: http://cityofheroes.gameamp.com/guide/viewGuide/549.php

It used to be that way, that it wouldn't stack there was a patch a month or so back where they changed that. It used to be that things like manuvers, combat jumping etc were postional defenses meaning that it one power might give you +def to melee. At that time if you were also running a power that gave you + def to energy these would not stack because they were two different types of defense. Now all power pool powers are +def all so they will stack with everything(I think with clarifiers like +def melee all). you still cant stack +def fire with + def energy and so forth but all power pool powers will stack in some fashion with any of your other defense powers. Basicly they fixed it to work pretty much like everyone thought it worked, but for a long time wasn't working that way.

No problem I finally got time to find it in the patch notes it's in the powers section from 10/27/05 and reads as follows:
Pool powers: Stealth, Grant Invisibility, Invisibility, Combat Flight, Weave, Maneuvers, Vengeance, and Combat Jumping now Buff Defense to ALL attacks. This change was also made to all Primary and Secondary Stealth and Invisibility powers (including, but not limited to, Cloak or Shadows, Cloaking Device, Superior Indivisibility, and Group Invisibility). All Defense powers should now stack properly with each other. All powers short and long Help Text was updated to indicate this change.
