Both an "X-CRI" and "CRI" headers should be defined. Until the standard

similar to the HTTP protocol where both "gzip" and "x-gzip" are used to
indicate gzip encoding (RFC 2616, section 3.5).
I disagree. When you write the internet-draft, ONLY specify the CRI
header. X- headers should only be used for doing experiments before you
write the internet-draft. As soon as you enter the ietf-space, stick to
the real name. x-gzip was specified to handle backward compatibility
because there was considerable history with its use prior to the RFCs
being written. You don't have that problem here -- there is no history of
previous uses of X-CRI that needs to be supported.
The question is what do we do during the standards process until the RFC is
approved, do we use "X-" or the regular headers?
