Eric:

Well, I am just thinking theoretically, but the standards refrain is, everyone 
should meet the standards. And so css says, the code 'corners: rounded' or 
'corners: spiked' is valid. But then the browsers fail to comply. They need it 
to be, 'mozilla-corners: rounded', and then there are 8 varieations.

And I wonder, why does the language not have the ability to internalize that, 
or can the language itself negotiate a successful result, given this imperfect 
reality.

Pre-processors may well have other value, but is this negotiation a function 
that should be done by them? We already have a lack of standardization, so I 
personally am not thrilled with this extra layer of complication on an already 
difficult process, but given the potential I would assume they are here to stay.

Rgrds,

Andrew


Andrew,

I'm not following what you mean by this -

"Why can't there be a code for all browsers, to do something like transparency
or rounded corners."

Are you talking about something outside of CSS? Something else maybe?
