I’m sure they plan to ship unprefixed at some point. I'll ask on webkit-dev and 
blink-dev about what they need to get there.

The syntax is interoperable after the property name, at least. If we ship CSS 
Filters, we’ll see code like this:
-webkit-filter: blur(3px);
filter: blur(3px);

And I’m thinking many web developers will be using an automated prefixing 
solution and simply writing:
filter: blur(3px);

Unfortunately, many of the CSS Filters examples I see on the web today are 
using the -webkit prefix exclusively:
-webkit-filter: blur(3px);

I’m hoping that Firefox shipping unprefixed will help break that habit.
