The aligning problems you cite are exactly the sorts of new features that are subject to the prefix problem -- see the flexbox spec (at http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-flexbox/)... and then see the 2009 flexbox spec (at http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-css3-flexbox-20090723). Most browsers (minus the IEs) support the old version. A few Chrome versions -- NOT -webkit-*, just Chrome -- support the new syntax (see http://caniuse.com/flexbox).
So, to sum up: we have this new standard you desire, but the problem addressed by the FA is directly to blame for the lack of adoption.
