Title : Deprecating Use of the "X-" Prefix in Application Protocols Author(s) : Peter Saint-Andre D. Crocker Mark Nottingham Filename : draft-ietf-appsawg-xdash-03.txt Pages : 12 Date : 2012-02-13 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 textual parameters in application protocols.
