Closed standards

"Congratulations! You've downloaded or compiled a copy of Deer Park Alpha 1."
And I must say that I have great expectations to the new browser as I am more than happy with the current version of Firefox. One of the things I like the most about it is its ability to render web pages correctly and according to the W3 web standards. I prefer to use Firefox just slightly more than the Norwegian glory; Opera. This is mostly due to the simplicity of the browser and that it is just that; a browser and not an e-mail client and more.
"The Mozilla Foundation takes pride in Firefox's compliance with existing standards, especially W3C web standards. Firefox has extensive support for most basic standards including HTML, XML, XHTML, CSS, JavaScript, DOM, MathML, XSL and XPath" (Wikipedia, Mozilla Firefox).
But in the newest offspring of theirs this pride seems to be hidden away, or not as important. I have tried to search through most of the W3 web site without any luck of finding anything even close to their new "-moz-outline-radius". The critics are now slow on their heels to complain about Microsoft and Internet Explorer using closed standards, but what is this then? Not even a search on Google for the term "-moz-outline-radius" produces any valuable results.
Is this the way to go for Mozilla and their products?
