Historically, designers and implementers of application protocols
have often distinguished between "standard" and "non-standard"
parameters by prefixing the latter with the string "X-" or similar
constructions. In practice, this convention causes more problems
than it solves. Therefore, this document deprecates the "X-"
convention for most application protocol parameters.
