The Overview says:

--------------
Initially, it will be identified by the private-use token "x-google-mux".
--------------

Please, don't use "x-" for a private extension, or we will end with
lot of clients and servers implementing the "x-" private name and the
standarized name forever. Check
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-saintandre-xdash-considered-harmful-01

I strongly propose to rename it to "mux".
