Can you give an example?  I don't see a single "-konq" property or 
value in the list that would make any sense used in an actual Web page 
style sheet.  Is there a particular property or value that you're 
concerned about?

It seems unlikely that any Web authors would be dependent on these 
since Konqueror was changed a few months ago when the new CSS parser 
landed to no longer support - and to start using \2d instead.  That 
change alone would have broken anyone who was actually using those 
properties with the -.
