Yeah, but are you sure this was set by the OP? He might
be using some software that has that by default.

Yeah - why shouldn't it be archived? Many times I
Google a problem I see that some other guy has asked
about that same problem, and the following discussion
helps me to solve it, just as it helped him before me.

OK. Who then decides if it is a standard or not and is
this later formalized in some RFC?

Intuitively it seems a bad idea to prefix as "not
standard" as that would have to be changed (i.e., "X-"
removed) if it ever made it to the standard.
