Can you help with a pointer?

I suppose you meant this thread: "Suggestion for generic CSS vendor prefix"
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Mar/0312.html
I particulary noted this reply of yours:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Mar/0329.html
" an *excellent* suggestion for how to maintain the current vendor
prefix situation, but reduce the pain for authors: CSS Variables! "
My comment: I believe CSS variables can be classified as a form of distributed
extensibility.
Before that, you said that shared prefixes would be
" painful to authors who don't realize that browsers may implement the property
differently at first, , or may implement different drafts "
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2010Mar/0319.html
My comment:
I'm unsure about whether the initial proposar in that thread suggested to
completely remove vendor prefixes. But at the very least, my own proposal was
to make e.g. -experimental- synonymous with -vendor-. Thus both -webkit- and
-experimental- would work.
I also think that some authors don't realize that -webkit-foo and -moz-foo
might not be the same foo. I'm even inclinded to think that authors would
accept that -experimental-foo could lead to differing results more easily than
they accept that -webkit-foo and -moz-foo could lead to differnt results.
