It is my understanding (which may be incorrect) that -moz and -webkit is the way that it's supposed to be done, in compliance with standards. See vendor specific keywords here:
The idea is that by identifying them with a specific browser, new features can be tested by vendors first before moving into the main standard. This is much, much better than some sort of 'silent extension' where one browser treats some type of tag as different without being explicit about it being for one particular browser.
