A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Applications Area Working Group Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Deprecating the X- Prefix and Similar Constructs in Application Protocols
Author(s) : Peter Saint-Andre
D. Crocker
Mark Nottingham
Filename : draft-ietf-appsawg-xdash-05.txt
Pages : 13
Date : 2012-04-09
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.
