Actually, Web authors shouldn’t be using any prefix, except for ‘-draft-’ maybe. 

Browsers, however, could use the other prefixes to allow access to specific states of implementation for testing and usage in controlled environments (i.e. intranets). The draft prefix would be an alias to the most stable or conforming one.
