I am not an expert on security work, but I've worked with IETF protocols
and their extensions for many years, including fretting about
whether/when to use "X-" headers.  In the OODA-HTTP context, since you
want it to be WG work, and thus ultimately an RFC, any headers defined
by the RFC definitely *should not* have "X-" because the headers will be
standardized.  After all, the only meaning of "X-" is "this is not a
standard header and I want to make sure nobody mistakes it for one".
