I suspect that sites rely on exactly that. Like Boris pointed out,
using a prefixed selector functions as a rendering-engine selector,
like:
foo bar, ::-webkit-foo {
/* These rules are only seen by Webkit */
}
Careful choice of the ::-webkit-foo (there's plenty of them choose
from) will ensure that this hack doesn't have any extra effects on the
page.
