Have vendor-prefixed versions of CSS properties ever been gotten rid  
of once deployed? (I honestly don't know - WebKit certainly supports  
some versions of properties with a prefix that we have also supported  
unprefixed for some time.)

Are there significant negative consequences from the continued  
existence of vendor-prefixed CSS properties in implementations?
