Indeed, you are quite right - we could not retroactively change the property names for compatibility reasons. Many of these properties (e.g. 'filter') were added prior to the CSS2 convention being ratified, and we can't change them.
However, I would point out that the one property we added in IE7 is properly prefixed.
