Campy had specific 10-speed triple front derailleurs at least through '06. I have a Chorus version installed on one bike, a Veloce on another and a braze-on Centaur still in it's original box, all from that year.

As to "compact specific" fd's, I believe Campy had them for a couple of years and then dropped them, saying that their standard road fd's worked fine on a compact crank too.
