Description

The specifications talks about ‘additional characters’ when it refers to the vendor prefixes defined in CSS 2.1. The CSS spec does not define what these are, so perhaps we should do that in our spec.

An alternative, and perhaps more reusable approach, would be to define this more clearly in the WHATWG Compat spec or in Infra.

Research direction

Read the WebDriver specification context around “additional characters,” then compare the linked CSS 2.1 vendor-keywords, WHATWG Compat, and Infra specifications. Determine whether the definition belongs in WebDriver or should be reused from another specification; the work is done when the term has an agreed, explicit definition or reference.
