Peter,

I think your document should be clear whether it affects the "vnd." 
construction, used, eg., as I remember, in MIME media types and elsewhere.

With respect to existing IANA policies regarding assignment and 
registration values beginning in "X-".  I suppose IANA should continue 
to follow those policies which were set by the corresponding documents, 
in order not to create the influx of registrations of "X-" values.  
However, when the "X-" convention is deprecated, new protocols will not 
need to set such policy; so no changes for IANA are necessary now.
