Re: [webkit-dev] Unprefixing requestAnimationFrame
I agree with this position as well. It seems good to have a transition period and to gather some data. - Maciej On Oct 11, 2012, at 9:59 PM, Darin Fisher da...@chromium.org wrote: I agree with what Adam wrote in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99116#c5.

Re: [webkit-dev] Unprefixing requestAnimationFrame
Me too. Please don't just remove the prefix - we need a period of time where we support both prefixed and unprefixed.

Re: [webkit-dev] Unprefixing requestAnimationFrame
From early on, requestAnimationFrame articles and documentation recommended shims/polyfills alongside the prose. Because of this nearly every script library using rAF detects all prefixes and the unprefixed standard version. More than nearly any other prefixed API I can think of, shipping unprefixed rAF without the prefixed alias should be safe.
