TO continue a bit on the topic.


CSS 2.1
	http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/CR-CSS21-20040225/syndata.html#q4
CSS 3.0
	http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/WD-css3-syntax-20030813/#vendor-specific

CSS 2.1 and CSS 3 define the notion of vendor extension but with a 
define mechanism.

For me the difference between an extension and not an extension is that 
if it's defined, in the W3C context,  by W3C (consensus) or if it's not 
defined by W3C (proprietary technology). It seems we all have a 
different understanding of it.

There's really a need to define it.
