Historically, designers and implementers of application protocols
have often distinguished between standardized and unstandardized
parameters by prefixing the names of unstandardized parameters with
the string "X-" or similar constructs. In practice, that convention
causes more problems than it solves. Therefore, this document
deprecates the convention for newly-defined parameters with textual
(as opposed to numerical) names in application protocols.
