No, and complicating your circumstance: RFC6648

Here's the title & abstract:


Deprecating the "X-" Prefix and Similar Constructs
in Application Protocols

Abstract

Historically, designers and implementers of application protocols
have often distinguished between standardized and unstandardized
parameters by prefixing the names of unstandardized parameters with
the string "X-" or similar constructs. In practice, that convention
causes more problems than it solves. Therefore, this document
deprecates the convention for newly defined parameters with textual
(as opposed to numerical) names in application protocols.
