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 "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.
