Yep.  The only benefit of the prefixing at that point is to maybe mark 
the API as experimental, if any web developers pay attention.  Which I 
doubt.

There's been a lot of discussion about prefixing CSS properties (or 
rather not doing that anymore, preferring other solutions like shipping 
things preffed off by default) that also applies to prefixing DOM APIs.
