There's a growing collection of names that are shared across implementations but are not ready to be unprefixed. Starting with two very common features is an easy entry into a cross-vendor prefix. Authors can still stack a vendor prefix after the common prefix if things aren't working out. Such as: -css-appearance: none; -webkit-appearance: none; Authors are already messing around with prefix land anyway: http://leaverou.github.com/prefixfree/ This is a middle ground, proposed by David Singer, between rushing out recommendations and waiting years. As an author, I think this would be helpful. And I would prefer -css- over -draft-. -Charles
