There is some truth in that, but note http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6838

  Note that types with names beginning with "x-" are no longer
  considered to be members of this tree (see [RFC6648]).  Also note
  that if a generally useful and widely deployed type incorrectly ends
  up with an "x-" name prefix, it MAY be registered using its current
  name in an alternative tree by following the procedure defined in
  Appendix A.
