[dispatch] Re: OODA-HTTP — Standard Header Naming Consideration

[Rachid Bouziane <[e-mail]>]

Dear Dale,

Thank you very much for your thoughtful remarks and for sharing your 
experience regarding the use of "X-" headers in IETF protocols.

You're absolutely right: the X-OODA-Action header was introduced in the 
early drafts of OODA-HTTP as a non-standard placeholder — precisely to 
avoid confusion during the exploration and prototyping phase. Now that 
the protocol is under discussion as a potential Working Group item, we 
fully agree that the use of the "X-" prefix is no longer appropriate.

As you clearly pointed out, standardized headers should be properly 
named to reflect their intended status, and we will revise the header in 
future versions accordingly — possibly adopting OODA-Action or an 
alternative consistent with IETF conventions.

Thank you again for your helpful insight. Your input helps us align the 
draft with IETF norms and community expectations.

Warm regards,
Rachid Bouziane
