I disagree. When you write the internet-draft, ONLY specify the CRI 
header. X- headers should only be used for doing experiments before you 
write the internet-draft. As soon as you enter the ietf-space, stick to 
the real name. x-gzip was specified to handle backward compatibility 
because there was considerable history with its use prior to the RFCs 
being written. You don't have that problem here -- there is no history 
of previous uses of X-CRI that needs to be supported.
