RE: vendor prefixes: co-cascading

The authors who want to be ignorant of status of technology they are working with really have to wait until it matures...

But I guess there is a point here. If something looks like a desired feature, it will get a lot of use, and a lot of frustration with incompatibility. If W3C properties are not final they shouldn't look final either.

For the most part, the vast majority of authors are (and should be!) completely ignorant of specs. They only know and care about implementations. If the code works, they'll use it. Unless there's something specifically forcing the feature to be clearly unstable (e.g. a name or namespace), authors will rely on it and then we'll be stuck with it.
