→CSS vendor prefixes case studies: vendor prefix analyses, supportive external articles
* '''border-radius'''. for a few years now browsers have been implementing ''vendor prefixed'' versions of the border-radius properties, web authors have been experimenting on the web, and the spec has iterated/improved based on feedback. Now we have a well-designed and road-tested 'border-radius' property in a CR spec and implementations are implementing that.
* '''word-wrap vs whitespace: pre-wrap'''. interactions between new properties and new values on existing properties. See this [http://scottonwriting.net/sowBlog/archive/0000/00/00/163005.aspx example of the property vs value interaction] between the new 'word-wrap' property and the (sometimes prefixed) new 'pre-wrap' value on the 'whitespace' property. The point is to show how prefixing can actually work across different approaches to evolving CSS.
