Hmm, good point. Any other suggestions?
Mozilla has already added a number of extensions using just a "moz"
prefix
... e.g. mozInnerScreenX, mozPaintCount, mozRequestAnimationFrame.
Webkit has added extensions using a "webkit" prefx ... e.g.
webkitDisplayingFullscreen.
In theory I guess that pattern could conflict with new features. But in
practice it doesn't seem likely unless new engines enter the market and
choose prefixes poorly. (I.e., don't choose a prefix that matches an
English verb or noun.)
Note that this is for element attributes, not interface members. Having
said that, vendor-name (i.e. a single dash) is probably sufficient. It
seems highly unlikely we will ever use webkit-, ms-, o-, gecko- as an
attribute name. In fact, iirc we follow the policy that new attribute
names will not have hyphens in them, unless it is for some kind of pattern
(like data-).
