The X- prefix is a convention sometimes used to indicate it's an
application-specific `eXtension' to some standard.  This is
common in mail headers, for instance your mail contains the
headers:

       X-Mozilla-Status: 0001
       X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000

This isn't not arguing for or against using it, just pointing
out the origin.
