A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Deprecating Use of the "X-" Prefix in Application Protocols Author(s) : Peter Saint-Andre D. Crocker Mark Nottingham Filename : draft-saintandre-xdash-03.txt Pages : 12 Date : 2011-07-26 Historically, there has often been a perceived distinction between "standard" and "non-standard" parameters (such as media types and header fields), by prefixing the latter with the string "X-" or similar constructions (e.g., "x."). In practice, this convention causes more problems than it solves. Therefore, this document deprecates the "X-" convention for most application protocol parameters.
