I don't really want to get involved in the rest of the thread (which is 
only rehashing ideas that have been proposed for over half a decade), but 
as far as using new properties and new values, the whole design of CSS is 
structured around the idea that compliant CSS UAs will ignore new 
constructs that they don't support, so that old and new can be used in 
parallel with UAs using just the bits they support.
