In the WebKit context, the need to prefix should be driven by the spec maturity 
level, not just the fact that the feature is optional and experimental for now. 
In this case, we expect a very low likelihood of incompatible changes to the 
spec. So it seems fine to omit the prefix, just as we would for an experimental 
implementation of a stable specification. That being said, we may want to 
revisit this choice before turning the feature on by default.
