Don't they get their prefixes too? And it's easy to change this hack to add the new location. I think that users with prefixes in their code understand that their code will be broken and are willing to update. We can leave a shunt in place at the prefix for some period, but I don't like the implication that a half-considered/half-designed feature determines the state of the browser in perpetuity.
