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 Use of the &quot;X-&quot; Prefix in Application Protocols
	Author(s)       : Peter Saint-Andre
                          D. Crocker
                          Mark Nottingham
	Filename        : draft-ietf-appsawg-xdash-01.txt
	Pages           : 12
	Date            : 2011-10-18

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