Until there is feedback that others besides Google are interested in
implementing it, it seems presumptuous to take the name "mux".

I am aware of the article you reference, but since non-private use names
have to be registered before use, it isn't clear the alternative is any
better.  WS has already shown that you can have early deployments of a work
in progress, make breaking changes, and have implementations adapt to the
new version fairly quickly. So, I would much rather have some
implementations use x-google-mux first and have to change them later after
it is standardized, than to use the name "mux" now and then find out we
really want a different mux protocol for that name.  There are only a few
browsers, so if they all update the servers will have no choice but to
update to match.
