So what? Passing validation is a worthy goal, but is not the be-all and
end-all. There is nothing wrong with using proprietary properties if you
know what you are doing. That's not in the same category as exploiting
parsing errors, if that's what you're thinking.

BTW, how would you get gecko to use its version of display:inline-block
without using -moz properties or values? That is another case to use
proprietary rules, so it's not just IE.

You'd rather taint the HTML on all pages with IE-specific bloat? :-\

I would rather add a few bytes to one CSS file than several lines in
every HTML file, plus have the overhead of downloading an additional
file on top of that. But that's just me. ;)
