> I am also calling Apple and Google to remove support for the "experimental" versions of a property when the final one is implemented and shipped.
That is a terrible, terrible idea and will never (and should never) happen. Sure, add support for the un-prefixed property. But don't break existing sites.
That mentality is what gave us XHTML, and we all know how that went. I guess it is the IE6 days all over again after all...
People using experimental features should be prepared for those features to break. Hopefully this allows people to be creative and inventive on their personal sites, without pushing experimental features through to big production websites.
Don't forget that those sites are already, by design of the owners, broken for any non-webkit browser.
Experimental? Gradients are almost certainly not experimental -- they are even supported in IE 8 (though through a non-standard way, thanks MS) -- nor should scaling be experimental (there is nothing experimental about it).
