You only should use vendor prefixes if you know what you do. If you don't know and some experience is broken, it's the developers fault, not the vendors'. I don't think prefixes shouldn't be in dev-versions. This would also conflict with the versions a standard couldn't be passed within 2-3months. I think developers should be more careful again with vendor prefixes and this is something people who are giving presentations, who are teaching such stuff, should talk about. But this never legitimate to adopt another prefix from another browser. This is the wrong way! And I think it's clear enough what all developers think of this issue and that this is no solution. -Anselm Am 09.02.2012 um 22:58 schrieb Matthew Wilcox: > We can all point to something like that.
