It is better to have a vendor neutral, csswg blessed prefix than having different vendors start copying each others vendor specific prefix. I can see a progression as follows: (1) phase 1 - preliminary / experimental (pre-ED/ED/WDs prior to LC) vendors use vendor specific prefixes (2) phase 2 - pre-standard (LC) vendors use vendor neutral, blessed prefix, but can still support vendor specific flavors of same (3) phase 3 - near-standard (CR/PR) vendors *may* use unprefixed, in which case they *should* begin sunsetting prefixed flavor support (4) phase 4 - standard (REC) vendors *must* use unprefixed, and *should* have completed sunsetting prefixed flavors
