Indeed, this is straight out of Hacking 101: a Good Hack(*) is one whose applicability is known (such as the IE6 underscore hack), rather than one whose scope is open-ended. Many responsible sources of CSS hacking information now acknowledge and even raise awareness of this, so I hope that implementors will be ruthless in removing these prefixed properties as and when they see fit, without the slightest regard for authors foolish enough to try and hack on the basis of them. (*) and I'm acutely aware that some believe that this is an oxymoron. Cheers, Anton Prowse http://dev.moonhenge.net
