Re: Unprefixing CSS properties

It may be years late, but the problem is now. The number of people to
convince is very small.

Part of the problem is that the discussions about vendor prefixing until
now have not all been public, so it has not been obvious what the "correct"
practice is.

Let's put together a clear document about vendor prefixing and get it out
there. I would bet that the Modernizrs of the world would heed explicit
guidance quickly and easily.
