Just for the record KHTML has adopted several -webkit- properties which 
automatically translates to similar -khtml- properties. Some of these where 
originally -khtml- properties later renamed in the webkit branch, but some 
like -webkit-border-radius are later developments. The rationalle for reusing 
vendor-properties in these cases have that we also share the implemenation of 
the property. 

Looking forward though, I Personally see no problem with reusing -moz- and -
ms- properties either. If these properties catches on, it is more of a hint to 
the W3C to move quicker to standardize those properties before it is too late.
