Re: [webkit-dev] Why vendor-specific attributes in CSS3 parsing engine?

2011-05-18 Thread Brady Duga
Though, in this case, the spec is at CR and has been since 2009. Is there an
additional process to removing the vendor prefixes for WebKit? So, are they
still there because no one bothered to remove them, or because the consensus
is they should remain for some reason?

 Vendor prefixes remain on new properties until the draft spec that
 describes them reaches Candidate Recommendation status.

 A Google search for CSS3 vendor prefix will turn up lots of discussion on
 the www-style mailing list about this.

 The best way to move forward would be to file a bug requesting that the
 prefixes be removed.
