Well, once we ship it, we have to support it.  I'd like what we ship  
to be reasonably close to the final version.  If it's too far off, we  
risk having to support two radically different implementations of  
variables.

Vendor-prefixed variable access is much better than $ or = in  terms  
of shipping a not-yet-finalized version though.
