Over the past 10 months not a single actual issue was raised about conflicts in legacy platforms. If you have an *actual* issue with a platform, please provide the full details, including why known mechanisms such as Apache rewrite rules can't solve the it.

I just raised an actual issue.

Because OAuth 2 parameters are not prefixed, starting with v11 the
spec requires all other parameters to use the "x_" prefix. Google
cannot comply with that.

Dropping the x_ requirement is good enough IMO. If you are worried
about that, then you are probably afraid of an actual issue as well.
