I was certainly never suggesting to be "rid" of experimental headers, quite
the reverse, I want to encourage them, but think that doing the header
under a different name that you are forced to change once it is accepted
is a dumb way to do it, and propose the very simple striking of the language
from the standard that experimental headers begin with an X, with an optional
pointer asking header definers to go to some web URL to register headers in
case of conflit.
