The @var rule can be prefixed. You can't prefix the *use* of variables, true. (Note - we've been thinking about handling experiments differently within Chrome. Rather than vendor prefixing, implement them unprefixed but only available in dev channel, not beta or public. This has basically the same benefits in terms of not interfering with final standardization, but makes it harder for a vendor prefix to become widely used and thus necessary to support. It also makes it easy to experimentally support things that can't be prefixed well, like this syntax. This isn't decided yet, but variables might be a good test pilot for the new approach.) ~TJ
