Take border-radius.
When it was first implemented in Gecko, centuries ago, they used (and
still use):
-moz-border-radius-topleft
that was more or less what a then draft was suggesting.
Fast-forward, WebKit uses
-webkit-border-top-left-radius
according to more current drafts.
The advantage of using vendor prefixes for experimental properties is
obvious.
Once a CSS3 draft enters a more stable stage (last-call) or similar,
the vendor can always alias their implemented name to the real thing,
internally.
Who knows what the real property name will be ?
