The "x" prefix would make sense if the system for registering new
prefixes is not open/user-editable -- e.g., for a case like the
IANA language-subtag registry. But if the plan is for a registry
system that is open/user-editable (using a wiki or whatever), then
it does seem like the "x" prefix would not be needed.
