No, the reasons are historical: CSS3 Paged Media was in CR in the past.
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/CR-css3-page-20040225/
It was pulled back into WD because the draft needed a *lot* of work;
most features were vastly underspecified. However, there were no plans
to dramatically change the features, just to specify more precisely how
they worked. Due to the past CR, there is no need to prefix these features.

Hm, yes, I need to update the snapshot to say that CSS3 Paged Media
is an unprefixed stage. Should also say that for text-shadow, since
people seem to be confused on that point. (It was in CSS2.0.)
