How about prefixes that are vendor-indepdendent but spec-version-dependent? -draft1-font-weight: itsy-bitsy and then someone in CSS realizes that that's not a good word, the spec. changes, and so now -draft2-font-weight: flimsy and so on. Ie. you change the X in 'draftX' whenever there is an incompatible change to the spec. and there will always be an N such that -draftN-something is the same as -something. At the moment, vendors can't easily version, and nor can we, and when vendors all do the same, we see stuff like -mozilla-simple: 23 -webkit-simple: 23 -opera-simple: 23 -someoneelse-simple: 23 when a -draft1-simple: 23 would have done it. Handling the documents, such that the number for a given feature only increments when it changes, would be a pain, I know :-). David Singer Multimedia and Software Standards, Apple Inc.
