>We hope this will make it much easier to develop vendor-specific features.

DRM[1]? Flash/"ActiveX 2012"[2]?

We've seen a great deal of recent discussion about the harm vendor-specific CSS properties[3] and X- prefixed application protocol header fields[4] are causing. No two parties can agree on proposals for the HTML specification. Microsoft, Google, Apple and Mozilla all tend to disagree and we're stuck with vendor-specific browser features.

These are not good signs for the health of the Web.
