I have the new tiagra 10 speed in the back, and I need something to match. Sheldon Brown says it will be okay.

I should always just read Sheldon Brown first. 7-speed, 8-speed, 9-speed, 10-speed... Many front derailers are designated for some number of speeds in back. This is actually primarily a marketing distinction, not a functional one. Pretty much any front derailer will work with any modern chain system. It is true that the cages have gotten slightly narrower to match the narrower chains used on systems with more rear sprockets, but this is rarely a problem in practice. sheldonbrown.com/front-derailers.html

Judging by the answers here, they aren't a standard interface. I think I'll ask at an LBS. bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-381146.html
