Using data- prefix for CSS-variables would be both confusing for authors and harmful for ability to add possible future features like described by Brian (<div data-foo="something">  =>  div{property: data(foo);}).
Brian didn't describe a new feature, he just said that authors may 
confuse data() with something of the sort. Such a feature would be 
completely redundant, as it offers little benefit (if any) over 
attr(data-foo).
