> So far we have:
> - X-Couch-Id
> - X-Couch-Update-NewRev
> - X-Couch-Full-Commit
> - X-CouchDB-VHost-Path
> - X-CouchDB-WWW-Authenticate
> - X-CouchDB-Requested-Path
> - X-Couch-Request-ID
> - X-Couch-Stack-Hash
> - X-CouchDB-Body-Time
> - X-Couch-Test-Auth
> - X-Auth-CouchDB-Username
> - X-Auth-CouchDB-Roles
> - X-Auth-CouchDB-Token
> First, I'd like to see them sharing common prefix: X-Couch or X-CouchDB, not both. For consistency. Personally, I think X-CouchDB is better name since it completely matches with the project name.
> Second, some name cleanup would be nice: it doesn't oblivious what X-Couch-Id belongs to while there is X-Couch-Request-Id and X-Couch-Update-NewRev is too verbose: X-Couch-Doc-Id and X-Couch-Doc-Rev would be more clean IMHO. Or X-CouchDB-*.
> Third is an idea to drop X- prefix as per [RFC-6648|http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6648]. Personally, I don't like this RFC as like as idea of pollution standard headers name space with custom ones, but what do you think about? Is it worth to keep or drop X- prefix?
