Well, extraneous code is extraneous code, generated or not. The user
agent will have to wade through it.

Impressive, but anything is possible when you can control the markup,
the CSS and the behaviour. However, that is a commodity we do not
always have. And it is hard to explain content editors the value of
good semantic markup when we add a lot of useless content and markup
just to achieve a visual effect that could be done with images, too.

Maybe because the CSS3 specs are not yet finished but are still in
working draft stage and Mozilla want to offer something. At least with
their own stuff for the time being they know the specs, and they name
it explicitly their extension to the standards. Things would be a lot
easier if the MSIE extensions had a ie- label, as new developers
wouldn't think that other browsers support it.
