Sadly it’s not just Safari RSS that uses these properties.  I did a quick grep over the various loose .css files I could see on my system.  Many of them referenced -khtml properties.  Dashboard, system Dashboard widgets, Dashcode templates, QuickLook, and even third-party applications like Yahoo! Messenger all appear to make use of -khtml or -apple properties.

In order to restore the functionality of the affected applications I am going to roll out the WebCore portion of <http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/63854>.  I would suggest that we revisit this change in the following way:
1) Set things up such that all existing properties that support the -khtml or -apple prefix continue to work, but so that newly-added properties do not support the legacy prefixes.
2) Establish a set of tests that make it explicit which of the properties we intend to support with the legacy prefixes.
3) Work to incrementally reduce the set of properties that are supported with the legacy prefix after we determine that individual properties are not used in the wild with the legacy prefixes.
