I think this is the right approach, but note that most of the time there is
no need to control what is sent to a particular browser as a property which
is not supported is simply ignored.
For example consider this:
.myBox {
border:1px solid #333;
-moz-border-radius:3px;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
