Yes, you did. Using a type with a subtype starting with `x-` is
permissible, and in absence of a registered MIME type, the only
thing that third parties can do.

Note [RFC 4288, section 3.4][1], though:

    However, with the simplified registration procedures
    described above for vendor and personal trees, it
    should rarely, if ever, be necessary to use unregistered
    experimental types. Therefore, use of both "x-" and "x."
    forms is discouraged.
